/**
 * <p>
 * Checks the distance between declaration of variable and its first usage.
 * Note : Variable declaration/initialization statements are not counted while calculating length.
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code allowedDistance} - Specify distance between declaration
 * of variable and its first usage. Values should be greater than 0.
 * Type is {@code int}.
 * Default value is {@code 3}.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code ignoreVariablePattern} - Define RegExp to ignore distance calculation
 * for variables listed in this pattern.
 * Type is {@code java.util.regex.Pattern}.
 * Default value is {@code ""}.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code validateBetweenScopes} - Allow to calculate the distance between
 * declaration of variable and its first usage in the different scopes.
 * Type is {@code boolean}.
 * Default value is {@code false}.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code ignoreFinal} - Allow to ignore variables with a 'final' modifier.
 * Type is {@code boolean}.
 * Default value is {@code true}.
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check with default config:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;VariableDeclarationUsageDistance&quot;/&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>Example:</p>
 * <pre>
 * public class Test {
 *
 *   public void foo1() {
 *     int num;        // violation, distance = 4
 *     final int PI;   // OK, final variables not checked
 *     System.out.println("Statement 1");
 *     System.out.println("Statement 2");
 *     System.out.println("Statement 3");
 *     num = 1;
 *     PI = 3.14;
 *   }
 *
 *   public void foo2() {
 *     int a;          // OK, used in different scope
 *     int b;          // OK, used in different scope
 *     int count = 0;  // OK, used in different scope
 *
 *     {
 *       System.out.println("Inside inner scope");
 *       a = 1;
 *       b = 2;
 *       count++;
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Check can detect a block of initialization methods. If a variable is used in
 * such a block and there are no other statements after variable declaration, then distance = 1.
 * </p>
 * <p>Case #1:</p>
 * <pre>
 * int minutes = 5;
 * Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
 * cal.setTimeInMillis(timeNow);
 * cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
 * cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
 * cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hh);
 * cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minutes);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * The distance for the variable "minutes" is 1 even
 * though this variable is used in the fifth method's call.
 * </p>
 * <p>Case #2:</p>
 * <pre>
 * int minutes = 5;
 * Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
 * cal.setTimeInMillis(timeNow);
 * cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
 * cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
 * <i>System.out.println(cal);</i>
 * cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hh);
 * cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minutes);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * The distance for the variable "minutes" is 6 because there is one more expression
 * (except the initialization block) between the declaration of this variable and its usage.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check to set allowed distance:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;VariableDeclarationUsageDistance&quot;&gt;
 *   &lt;property name=&quot;allowedDistance&quot; value=&quot;4&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>Example:</p>
 * <pre>
 * public class Test {
 *
 *   public void foo1() {
 *     int num;        // OK, distance = 4
 *     final int PI;   // OK, final variables not checked
 *     System.out.println("Statement 1");
 *     System.out.println("Statement 2");
 *     System.out.println("Statement 3");
 *     num = 1;
 *     PI = 3.14;
 *   }
 *
 *   public void foo2() {
 *     int a;          // OK, used in different scope
 *     int b;          // OK, used in different scope
 *     int count = 0;  // OK, used in different scope
 *
 *     {
 *       System.out.println("Inside inner scope");
 *       a = 1;
 *       b = 2;
 *       count++;
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check to ignore certain variables:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;VariableDeclarationUsageDistance&quot;&gt;
 *   &lt;property name=&quot;ignoreVariablePattern&quot; value=&quot;^num$&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * This configuration ignores variables named "num".
 * </p>
 * <p>Example:</p>
 * <pre>
 * public class Test {
 *
 *   public void foo1() {
 *     int num;        // OK, variable ignored
 *     final int PI;   // OK, final variables not checked
 *     System.out.println("Statement 1");
 *     System.out.println("Statement 2");
 *     System.out.println("Statement 3");
 *     num = 1;
 *     PI = 3.14;
 *   }
 *
 *   public void foo2() {
 *     int a;          // OK, used in different scope
 *     int b;          // OK, used in different scope
 *     int count = 0;  // OK, used in different scope
 *
 *     {

 *       a = 1;
 *       b = 2;
 *       count++;
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check to force validation between scopes:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;VariableDeclarationUsageDistance&quot;&gt;
 *   &lt;property name=&quot;validateBetweenScopes&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
