ExcessiveParameterList
Methods with numerous parameters are a challenge to maintain, especially if most of them share the same datatype. These situations usually denote the need for new objects to wrap the numerous parameters.
This rule is defined by the following Java class: net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.codesize.ExcessiveParameterListRule
Example(s):
public void addPerson( // too many arguments liable to be mixed up

public void addPerson( // preferred approach
Date birthdate, BodyMeasurements measurements, int ssn) {
. . . .
