#7 Branch offset out of range error

[Swapna Muppala]

I get the following error when trying to compile a large source file. Is there a limit to the size
source file Janino can handle. javac has no problem
with the class:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Branch offset out of range

net.janino.CodeContext$Branch.relocate(CodeContext.java:658)

at net.janino.Java$CompilationUnit.compile(Java.java:350)

This is a duplicate of the 1037947, but i would like to know the resolution for this?
How can we avoid this error?
