java eclipse metrics lines-of-code

I'm running Eclipse Helios (3.6) and was wondering if there is a nice plugin out there that will count the number of logical lines of code in a java source file. By logical, I mean

if (j > 6) {
   j--;
}

In other words, 2 logical lines of code (2 statements) will be counted instead of 3 physical lines of code.

Metrics2 is an updated version of the Metrics plug-in described by js3v that should do what you need. It can also aggregate some of the measurements (e.g. add up the LOC of classes in a package to give you the LOC of the package). This page explains some of its capabilities and mentions that it counts logical lines of code, not physical ones.
