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?
here is one called Metrics.
edit:
i put together a short program for this screenshot in eclipse 3.3.1.1:

Metrics New version Thanks @mpartel for the link
CodePro AnalytiX originally form Instantiations is now free at Google:

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.
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.
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
A search for eclipse code+metrics turns up http://eclipse-metrics.sourceforge.net/, which looks good.
I also recommend the eclipse-metrics plugin.
It is capable of exporting the metrics into html, and is capable of doing this from an ant task (at least according to the documentation, I have never tried it).
The plugin works even in Eclipse 3.5 fine.
Sonar seems worth to look at: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Installing+Sonar+in+Eclipse
Another good project is the projectusus, which shows you not only the metrics but also whether you are respecting the standards or not and gives you a hint of what should be refactored
