I would like to start a new Maven plugin utilizing the free 
SourceMonitor (http://www.campwoodsw.com). 

It is a windows-based GUI application and allows to capture source 
code metrics of various programming languages (C,C++, Deplhi, Visual 
Basic, Java and HTML) rapidly.

The killer feature IMHO is the ability to checkpoint the measured 
projects and visualize the metric changes between the checkpoints.

It captures the following metrics

+) Statements
+) Percent Branch Statement
+) Method Call Statements
+) Percent Lines with Comments
+) Classes and Interfaces
+) Methods per Class
+) Average Statements per Method
+) Statements in Biggest Method
+) Maximum Block Depth
+) Average Block Depth


SourceMonitor is currently rewritten to separate the engine from the 
GUI using XML reports and commands. The engine could be run from the 
command line on Windows and LINUX and create the XML reports.

IMHO a plugin for simple source code metrics and checkpointing 
facility is missing

+) the JDepend plugin provides a few metrics
+) the JavaNCSS plugin provides no integration with JXR at the moment


VISION
=====================================================

+) Provide a plugin running the SourceMonitor engine to create 
metrics as XML reports

+) Transform the XML report to XDOC with full source cross 
referencing support

+) The visualization of the checkpoints with SVG generated images


HELP REQUESTED
=====================================================

+) Is there anyone out there who would take care of the SVG part?! I 
would love to have SVG generated images.


Thanks in advance

Siegfried Goeschl
