Number of lines in a method

This metric measures the number of lines of code in a method.

The number of lines of code in a method estimates method length and complexity.

By default, Jtest reports an error if this metric's value is not between 0 and 30.

Note: This rule does not test abstract methods, native methods, or any methods that are declared in the interface.
