title: Maximum size of a method in Java 7 and 8
body: <p>I know that a method cannot be larger than 64&nbsp;KB with Java. The limitation causes us problems with generated code from a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaCC" rel="noreferrer">JavaCC</a> grammar. We had problems with Java 6 and were able to fix this by changing the grammar. Has the limit been changed for Java 7 or is it planned for Java 8?</p>
  
  <p>Just to make it clear. I don't need a method larger than 64&nbsp;KB by myself. But I wrote a grammar which compiles to a very large method.</p>
