- Field Detail
  - NAME_MAX_LENGTH
```
static final int NAME_MAX_LENGTH
```
    According to JVM specification, the name is limited to 65535 characters by the 16-bit unsigned length item of the CONSTANT_Utf8_info structure. As the limit is on the number of bytes and UTF-8 encodes some characters using two or three bytes, we assume that in worst case number or characters is 65535 / 3
