/**
 * <p>
 * Checks for long methods and constructors.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Rationale: If a method becomes very long it is hard to understand.
 * Therefore, long methods should usually be refactored into several
 * individual methods that focus on a specific task.
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code countEmpty} - Control whether to count empty lines and comments.
 * Type is {@code boolean}.
 * Default value is {@code true}.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code max} - Specify the maximum number of lines allowed.
 * Type is {@code int}.
 * Default value is {@code 150}.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code tokens} - tokens to check
 * Type is {@code java.lang.String[]}.
 * Validation type is {@code tokenSet}.
 * Default value is:
 * <a href="https://checkstyle.org/apidocs/com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/api/TokenTypes.html#METHOD_DEF">
 * METHOD_DEF</a>,
 * <a href="https://checkstyle.org/apidocs/com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/api/TokenTypes.html#CTOR_DEF">
 * CTOR_DEF</a>,
 * <a href="https://checkstyle.org/apidocs/com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/api/TokenTypes.html#COMPACT_CTOR_DEF">
 * COMPACT_CTOR_DEF</a>.
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Parent is {@code com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.TreeWalker}
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Violation Message Keys:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * {@code maxLen.method}
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * @since 3.0
