Eclipse metrics plugin suggestion

Question

I'm looking for a tool to give me some code metrics (total LOCs, LOC/Class, # of external references/class, etc...).

Does anyone know a good eclipse plugin that could provide me some some code metrics?

Solution 1

here is one called Metrics.

edit:

i put together a short program for this screenshot in eclipse 3.3.1.1:

Edit 2
Metrics New version Thanks @mpartel for the link

Solution 2

CodePro AnalytiX originally form Instantiations is now free at Google:

Solution 3

Sorry for the necropost but it seems like the right thing to do since this was my starting point. Try Metrics2, its a fork of the original metrics plugin and is built for Eclipse 3.5.

Solution 4

If you want LOC only then use locmetric http://www.locmetrics.com/ . and if you want check metric and code coverage usse SONAR or Eclips CodePro Analytix plugin.

i suggest to use https://developers.google.com/java-dev-tools/codepro/doc/ it has Automated tools measure quality of Java source code and code coverage

Solution 5

There is an updated version of the Metrics plug-in described above that should do what you need. It can aggregate some of the measurements (e.g. add up the LOC of classes in a package to give you the LOC of the package) and export the measurements to XML. Some time in the near future, it should also export them to a relational database.

This looks kind of old. Their latest news: "New release for Eclipse 3.1 2005-07-08".

This is a snazzy one that creates warnings when the metrics start to show potential problems, but it doesn't seem to have a summary feature with overall stats.

just installed it at home on the mac. looks good on 3.3.1.1

I've been researching metrics plug-ins recently. Since this is the accepted answer, I wanted to point out to future readers looking for metrics plugins (like me) that a couple of the other answers mention 'metrics2'. The metrics2 project claims that metrics.sourceforge.net is discontinued, so metrics2 is intended to be a continuation of it. As of the writing of this comment, the last release was Jul 2010 and code was last committed as recently as 6 days ago.

Metrics2 (ebt's answer) is the current name of the updated version of the Metrics plug-in.

FYI: I can't get Metrics 2 to show up in a fresh install of Eclipse. It may or may not work anymore either.

Works for me on fresh Install - Dec 2012. Check that you've done the show views thing :-) Dear Eclipse when I install a plugin the odds are on I want the views shown and the thing enabled without my having to step through every menu ever.

The screenshot is no longer hosted at Imageshack, please update!

Why are there no updated metrics plugins for Luna!
