JavaNCSS - A source metric suite for Java

What is JavaNCSS ?

JavaNCSS is a command line utility which measures some standard source code metrics for the Java programming language. The metrics are collected globally, for each class and/or for each function.

What are the advantages ?

The following are some of the advantages that i have seen

1. Support for Ant Tasks, so easy to integrate with build process
2. Reports can be in Text, XML, HTML etc
3. Support for Stylsheets and easy to get nice HTML reports
4. Metrics at each level Package / Class / Method
5. Cyclomatic Complexity Number
6. List the number of packages / classes / functions / LOC counter at each level
