How to extract different metrics from source code in Enterprise Architect

Question

I have source code of a project (multiple files) that I have exported as source directory in the Enterprise Architect. I want to use the EA for the following.

• Extract different source code metrics such as LOC, Comments, No of classes etc.
• Extract function calls.
• Extract level of coupling between classes.
• Detect code smells.

However, I have been looking through different forums and documentation files for days and haven't found anything helpful.

Answer 1

Enterprise Architect doesn't have the functions you are looking for. It's basically not the right tool for that job.

You might be able to do something if you write a bunch of scripts, or an add-in. But in that case you would basically need to parse and interpret the code yourself.

What you are looking for is a static code analysis tool, not a modelling tool such as EA.

Answer 2

You can try JArchitect, it gives you all these metrics and features and it's free for open source contributors.
