Eclipse Metrics Plugin

Question

I'm searching for a Eclipse plugin which measures my activity on projects on a daily basis. I'd like to have a statistic showing me how many LOCs, tests, classes etc. were added. Additionally I'd like it to work without a server.

I'm working with Eclipse 3.7 and 3.6.

Answer 1

You might want to consider Mylyn. It is a task based plugin for Eclipse. It lets you get a list of bugs assigned to you...you pick a bug (or create a manual work item), and then Mylyn tracks the time you spend on it.

Time tracking is really just a side benefit of Mylyn, the real power is that it supports automatic context switching..ie. when you get interrupted and have to start working on another bug Mylyn remembers and restores your context.

Answer 2

Source Monitor is not an Eclipse plug-in, but it does let you set "checkpoints" to compare how the metrics have changed between checkpoints. Note that it only works on Windows.
