          Checks for long anonymous inner classes.
        </p>

        <p>
          Rationale: If an anonymous inner class becomes very long it is hard
          to understand and to see the flow of the method where the class is
          defined. Therefore long anonymous inner classes should usually be
          refactored into a named inner class.  See also Bloch, Effective
          Java, p. 93.

          Rationale: Long lines are hard to read in printouts or if developers

          displays additional information like project tree, class hierarchy,
          etc.

            The calculation of the length of a line takes into account the
            number of expanded spaces for a tab character (<code>'\t'</code>). The default number of spaces is <code>8</code>.  To specify a different number of spaces,
            the user can set <a href="config.html#TreeWalker"><code>TreeWalker</code></a> property <code>tabWidth</code> which applies to all Checks,
            including <code>LineLength</code>; or can set
            property <code>tabWidth</code> for <code>LineLength</code> alone.

            Package and import statements (lines matching pattern <code>^(package|import) .*</code>) are not verified by
