Plug-in for Eclipse to measure software internal quality. It was developed as part of my dissertation entitled "A Quantitative Study to Characterize the Internal Quality of Open-Source Object-Oriented Software Systems".
This is a plug-in for Eclipse to measure software internal quality in Java projects. In the plug-in development, we used the Eclipse IDE (Oxygen), the Java Development Tools (JDT), the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE), and Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). In JDT, there are tools for manipulating Java code. In PDE, there are tools to develop and test plug-ins in the Eclipse IDE.

o3smeasures can be used as an Eclipse Application, importing the project into your workspace. After import the o3smeasures project, with the right mouse button you need select the option Run as -> Eclipse Application. In the runtime eclipse application, select a Java project to be measured and with the right mouse button, go to O3SMeasures -> Analyze Java project.
After import the o3smeasures project, with the right mouse button you need select the option Run as -> JUnit Plug-in Test.
o3smeasures plug-in is installed in the Eclipse directory. You need to paste the .jar on the dropins directory (eclipse -> dropins). After installed the o3smeasures project into your workspace, select a Java project to be measured and with the right mouse button, go to O3SMeasures -> Analyze Java project.
Run Eclipse, go to Help menu -> Install New Software... On the opening dialog add a new Remote site named o3smeasures with the following url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mariazevedo88/o3smeasures-plugin/master/site.xml and follow the instructions.
Run Eclipse, go to Help menu -> Eclipse Marketplace... On the opening dialog, search for o3smeasures. Finding the plugin, click on the Install button and follow the instructions.
The o3smeasures views can be enabled by the eclipse menu Window -> Show View -> Other ... -> o3smeasures.
To export the measurement results in the O3SMeasures Diagnostic view, with the right mouse button in the view, select the option Export to CSV file to export in the .csv format or Export to XML file to export in the .xml format.
In version 2.1.0 or above, it is possible to upload measurement diagnostic reports to an s3 bucket on Amazon (AWS). With the right mouse button in the view, select the option Upload to AWS S3 Bucket to export in the .csv or .xml format.
The formating options and the bucket configurations has to be defined on the Preferences Page, that can be access by the eclipse menu Window -> Preferences -> o3smeasures Preferences.
