The size limit in Java for a
method is 65535 characters. The
length of field and method names, field and method descriptors, and other
constant string values is limited to 65535 characters by the 16-bit unsigned
length item of the CONSTANT_Utf8_info structure (§4.4.7). Note that the limit
is on the number of bytes in the encoding and not on the number of encoded
characters. UTF-8 encodes some characters using two or three bytes. Thus,
strings incorporating multibyte characters are further constrained.
