All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Contextualizable

public class JavaNCSSCheck
extends Check

This check calculates the Non Commenting Source Statements (NCSS) metric for java source files and methods. The check adheres to the JavaNCSS specification and gives the same results as the JavaNCSS tool.

The NCSS-metric tries to determine complexity of methods, classes and files by counting the non commenting lines. Roughly said this is (nearly) equivalent to counting the semicolons and opening curly braces.
