Eclipse count lines of code

Question

I've tried the Metrics plugin and although it's nice and all, it's not what my boss is looking for. It counts a line with just one } as a line and he doesn't want that to count as "its not a line, its a style choice". I also need to generate some form of report about the metrics provided. Are there any good tools for this?

Answer 1

There's always the "brute force":

1. Search->File

2. Type the following in "Containing text" -> ^.*$. Then check the "Regular Expression" checkbox

3. Type the following in "File name patterns" -> *.java

4. Click "Search"

5. Check the number of matches in the "Search" Tab.
