Infinite Parameters

There is a way to do this, but there are certain rules that must be applied: (1) only the last parameter in the defined list can be repeated by an undetermined amount of times (2) all instances of the repeated parameter must be of the type specified (3) you must use the elipse ('...') to declare the parameter as being an array of the type given For example, the setPaintOrder method declaration could look something like this: Then, you can get the number of classes given using 'class.length' and get the value of each class with 'class', where 'n' is an integer between zero and 'class.length - 1'. Basically, you treat it like an array.

You can't limit it statically, no. Of course you can have your method check the number of parameters and throw an exception if there are too many. if (params.length > 20) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Too many parameters supplied"); }
