Eclipse Metrics is very powerful but only works for Java unfortunately.

It took a look at the help to get started though, you need to:

  • select an extension set from the Tools->Extension Set->Select menu (I chose the C set)
  • right click on the "New" Code Set icon and do "Add Branch", then navigate to your source root folder
  • click run, and here you go:
