@SuppressWarnings('PMD.ExcessiveParameterList') Annotation: Suppressing PMD's Excessive Parameter List Rule

The '@SuppressWarnings('PMD.ExcessiveParameterList')' annotation is used to suppress the PMD (Programming Mistake Detector) rule that flags methods with excessive parameters.

The rule is designed to encourage developers to write methods with a limited number of parameters, as having too many parameters can make the code harder to read, understand, and maintain. It also increases the risk of bugs and makes the code less flexible.

However, there may be situations where it is necessary to have a method with a larger number of parameters. In such cases, the '@SuppressWarnings('PMD.ExcessiveParameterList')' annotation can be used to instruct the PMD analyzer to ignore the rule violation for that specific method.

It is important to note that suppressing this rule should be done judiciously and only when there is a valid reason for having a larger number of parameters in a method.
