Eclipse - how can I determine the number of methods in a Java application

Question

I'm trying to do something weird, I'm trying to determine how many methods has my Java application.

This weird thing has a purpose, it is because I have to improve the logging in the application, and it will require to make a revision of every method and add the logging if it is missing, update the logging if it already has.

I'm in the estimation process, so knowing how many methods has the application will help me to provide a high level estimation with a reasonable basis for this.

Then, here is the question, is there any way to know how many methods has my Java application?

Thanks in advance.

Using Eclipse you can do this:

• Press Ctrl-H (Search), then select the "Java Search" tab (if it doesn't appear click on the "Customize..." button at the lower left corner)
• Put * in the search box
• Select "Method" in the "Search For" fieldset
• Select "Declarations" in the "Limit To" fieldset
• Select "Sources" in the "Search In" fieldset
• Select "Workspace" in the "Scope" fieldset
• Click on "Search"

After the search is complete you should see a "XXXX declarations in..." message in the search view and that will be your result.

Hope it helps!
