ClassLineCount Metric

Metric for counting the number of lines for classes. Note that this metric measures the number of lines from the first line of the class to the last line of the class. The count includes all program statements, comment lines and whitespace.

Implemented by the org.gmetrics.metric.linecount.ClassLineCountMetric class.

• The The C2 Wiki page for *Lines of Code has a good discussion of the perils of using (abusing) lines of code as a measure of just about anything. Note: That page specifically refers to measuring non-comment lines. This metric only measures total lines, including statements, comments and whitespace.
