I've never seen that error before. Can you tell us more about your code? – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Aug 24 '12 at 23:32
Distribute your program beyond more than one class. – cheeken Aug 24 '12 at 23:33

That's a **huge** amount of lines clumped together. Would suggest breaking out the code into separate classes. – Reimeus Aug 24 '12 at 23:33
@cheeken, is there any other way ? – Arpssss Aug 24 '12 at 23:34

sounds like a serious refactoring project. You'll probably need to break that up into at least few chunks. And congratulations on that error :-) – vector Aug 24 '12 at 23:34
@Reimeus, That I want to avoid. Any other way ? – Arpssss Aug 24 '12 at 23:34

I think a single method can't be more than 64KB of bytecode. But if you really have reached that limit, you should rethink your design. Big time. – assylias Aug 24 '12 at 23:35

How did it got written in the first place, turning dynamic compilation off? :o – user802421 Aug 24 '12 at 23:37
Maybe if you post the entire method here we could give you a better advice! just kidding! – Aug 24 '12 at 23:37

Why are you not desiring to refactor this code? Why put unreasonable limits on how you should improve your code? – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Aug 24 '12 at 23:38

@Arpssss - No you cannot avoid this. No there is no other way. – Stephen C Aug 24 '12 at 23:59
