Answer 1

There's the open source Eclipse Metrics plugin, but i personally prefer ProjectCodeMeter which integrates with eclipse as external metrics tool.

I installed the plug-in in my Eclipse Juno (3.8.1) and the Metrics panel only showed up for a Java project, not with a CDT-based project. ProjectCodeMeter is Windows-only and its "integration" with Eclipse is limited to running itself as an external program, which is not really integrated. – Censure

Answer 2

Eclipse Metrics is very powerful but only works for Java unfortunately.
Project Code Meter is a professional, comprehensive, but also expensive tool.
cccc is an awful, hacked command line tool for Windows only.
However Code Analyzer is a simple, free graphics tool that works great with C and C++.

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:

Answer 3

As far as i know there is no code metrics plugin for C++/CDT, but you can use cccc

But i guess you already knew about it :)

Good luck!

Answer 4

We have been working on an Eclipse plug-in called metriculator. Its still under development but some major metrics (e.g. LSLOC, McCabe, EfferentCoupling) are already implemented.

See http://sinv-56013.edu.hsr.ch/redmine/projects/metricular/wiki/Documentation for more details.

EDIT: Above link is dead, you can use https://github.com/ideadapt/metriculator instead.

Nice integration with Eclipse, but ignores .c files. – Dropline
