SInce this thing just kept growing I moved it to a new home, its own new sourceforge project. You can now find it at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/metrics

The new 1.01 release utilizes the Eclipse jdt AST to actually parse the code to calculate some more complex metrics, such as the McCabe Cyclomatic COmplexity, also known as V(G). Since parsing every time is a time consuming task, the claculated values are stored as persistent properties on the underlying resource. The plugin ensure freshness of these values and recalculates when needed (file changes or new version of metrics plugin installed)... read more

Added more metrics and a feature that makes the workbench jump to the resource associated with a maximum value metric (simply double-click the metric). I did not feel like increasing the version of the plugin, and simply replaced release 1 with the new and improved version.

version 1 of my Eclipse plugin for simple projects metrics was just released. It adds a Metrics page to the property sheets of all java elements. The content of this property page depends on the element, but in general it contains counts, averages and maximum values of lines of code ina method, fields in a class, methods in a class, classes in a package, etc.

Enjoy,
