Overly coupled method
Reports methods that reference too many other classes. Methods with too high coupling can be very fragile and should be probably split into smaller methods.
Each referenced class is counted only once no matter how many times it is referenced.
Configure the inspection:
Use the Method coupling limit field to specify the maximum allowed coupling for a method.
Use the Include couplings to java system classes option to count references to classes from
java
orjavax
packages.Use the Include couplings to library classes option to count references to third-party library classes.
