Hi,

Maybe you can use Checkstyle (http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net), a tool to check Java code.

In my project we installed the Checkstyle plugin (http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net) and one of its many features is the methodLength: where you can define a maximum number of lines for methods; if your method is longer than the defined length Eclipse will show an error.

Take a look at Checkstyle, we use it integrated in Eclipse, but Checkstyle configuration says that it's also possible to use it as an Ant task or as command line tool.
