Maven 2 JavaNCSS Plugin

JavaNCSS is a source measurement suite for Java which produces quantity & complexity metrics for your java source code.

This plugin provides the capability to run the JavaNCSS tool on your Maven 2 project sources and produce an html report. Optionally you can fail the build whenever one of the metrics goes beyond a fixed limit.

By default, JavaNCSS version 33.54 is used.

Many thanks to Clemens Lee and the many contributors to the JavaNCSS project for producing this tool for all to use.
