this functionality does already exist in maven plugins for example, to name a one which tries to replicate the output of the `cloc` tool, simply run this in any maven project and you have output very similar to cloc: ``` mvn io.github.orhankupusoglu:sloc-maven-plugin:sloc ``` Every project host, such as github, gitlab, bitbucket etc does also provide comparable code stats dashboards by default - you can't really escape it. There are even services which do nothing else but to generate stats. As I said in the initial discussion on the mailing list which moved to an issue and was then again moved to a gh discussion: this is a very good usecase for a third party plugin in my opinion (just like the mentioned intellij plugin), which could integrate tools like `sloc-maven-plugin` and simply run them in the repo, or add a hint which injects this into mvn/gradle projects (for example) (even easier to implement), or actually reimplement it in another way. NetBeans was made to be extended! I wouldn't want to see this implemented in NB, since this would be a clear case of the "not invented here". We have enough to maintain already. Even intellij didn't implement it in the core, but waited till it was available as a plugin instead. My guess is that this feature is fairly niche and has low relevance for most projects, but if you need it for a slide of a presentation, its good to know a place which can generate those stats. Beside that I think this feature would fit very well to a plugin on the plugin portal, there is also no interest from the user who requested this feature to implement it, and also that no committer indicated the will to implement it, I see no real point to track this as an issue (there already is a discussion thread and a mailing list thread). NetBeans is a community project, we should only track things which someone wants to implement, or at the minimum where we agree that we should implement it at some point in future, the issue tracker is no wish list. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
