Maximum # of arguments for a method

Question

Is there a maximum # of arguments for a method?
I have the following signature for a method:
void process_l1_queue(int processnum, Scheduler level1[], Scheduler[] level2[], Scheduler[] level3[],Scheduler[] level4[],int index,int l2,int l3,int l4)when I call it with the following statement,
level1.process_l1_queue(process_count, level1,level2,level3,level4,l1ptr, l2ptr, l3ptr,l4ptr);
I get a cannot resolve symbol error pointing at the comma after l3ptr.
I've deleted the l4ptr and the same error points to the ).

wow. People can often be a bit too inflammatory with their replies here, but, at the risk of sounding like so, I would fire you on the spot if you develop an application class with that signature. There is no defense for such a signature- put some of those arguments in the constructor (this instance will always be of a certain calendar type, dollar currency), subclass- divide the functionality into smaller units. That signature is too complex and it will make every thing more difficult, particularly if some one else has to manage the code in the future. I would say, as a general rule, if you find yourself asking, will java let me put some thing this mammoth in it the way I intend, you're often using a poor design. All things being equal, you shouldn't normally have to test the limits of the JLS.
