Question: The class could not be resolved

Hello yang,

For performance reasons IDEA doesn't parse Java classes which exceed certain
size (2M I believe). You can increase the size, but it's strongly recommended
to split the class into multiple smaller classes instead.

Hi,
I melt a strange problem, the details are:
(1) I create a java file, and in the .java file ,there are some
nested classes( or interface), and the file is very large, about 50000
lines.
there is a sample like below:

 static final int APPEARANIMNE = 5;\\ static final int APPEARANIMNW =
> 1;\\ static final int APPEARANIMSE = 9;\\ static final int
> APPEARANIMSW = 13;\\ static final int COUNT = 16;\\ } //AID_ARROW\\ \\
> public interface AID_AXE\\ {
> ....]]>

(2) I found that in the project tree, the file is not show a
interface icon but a java file icon(the interface should show a
interface icon in normal condition),
and in other classes, when I use the Cst interface or
Cst.AID_ARROW, then it shows the error the the class could not be
resolved.
(3) But when compile the file, it is passed...

(4) Did someone else melt these problem? Thanks!

it's a very bad design smell if you have any source that large, it should never have been allowed to get that way in the first place.
Anything much over a few hundred lines usually needs refactoring badly, more than a few thousand lines is a disaster (waiting to happen).

There are of course exceptions, but mostly those have to do with reams of comments or embedded SQL (where the latter could be a design flaw in its own right and the former begs the thought whether that text might not need to be in a separate design document).

Hi,


Thanks for you answer.

I know that the code is a bad design, but for some reason that I have to do with it...


could you tell me how to increase the size of the limit?


Thanks very much.

do you know how to change the size limit to the java source ?

Thanks very much

Edit the idea.max.intellisense.filesize value in idea.properties.
