Eclipse Juno Metrics Plugins

Question

What eclipse metrics plugins exist for the JUNO release of eclipse? I have tried a few general purpose metrics plugins but non of them has functioned properly with the JUNO release of eclipse. Almost forgot, we are using Java as programming language.

I want metrics like cyclomatic-complexity, lines of code, method length, parameter excess and so on.

Answer 1

Check out the following, which work fine on Juno:

• checkstyle: code style, including method length and others
• checkstyle again: duplicate code detection
• checkstyle again: Cyclomatic Complexity
• cobertura: for test coverage
• findbugs: potential pitfalls in your code
• Google Plugin for eclipse google's own code quality tools including test generation

I suppose you are not looking for profilers, but if you are, consider the (newly resurrected?) TPTP

Answer 2

I found the https://github.com/leonardobsjr/metrics3 source code work fine with eclipse 4.5 :)

You need compile and export the plugins for yourself.

Or you can use my updatesite: https://github.com/qxo/eclipse-metrics-plugin/raw/master/updatesite/

from: https://github.com/qxo/eclipse-metrics-plugin

For Now (1.3.9) You must in "Java Perspective" for enable metrics with this plugin on a project (right-click project -> properties -> metrics -> "enable metrics").

Answer 3

You may also chek the plug-in for Eclipse called "Metrics". It's and old one but it seems to work fine.
