CyVis is a free software metrics collection, analysis and visualisation tool for java based software.

• Java Runtime Environment: JRE v5.0 or higher is required in order to run CyVis. You can download the latest version of JRE here.
• Ant 1.6 or higher if you are planning to integrate CyVis with your build script. You can get the latest version of Ant here

Since this is the first public version all the features are given here.

• 100% Java Application with Java 1.5 support
• Collects Metrics from class files (hence there's no need for the source code).
• CyVis Ant Task, to integrate with your build.
• Multi-threaded for better performance(extraction of metrics).
• Detailed Metrics at Project, Package and Class Levels.
• Metrics shown in tables and charts.
• Customizable coloured highlighting in charts for better data visualisation.
• In depth analysis with the Project Tree Viewer.
• Capable of batch operation.

1. Increased support for enterprise applications by allowing *.war and *.ear files to be directly used.
2. Better Reporting (improve the text & html reports formats).
3. Inner class files are omitted, in this version. They will be included in the next version.

Though CyVis is written in java it has only been tested for windows machines, so we do know how it might behave on other platforms.
