Tool to measure LCOM in Java? 2

I am working on a project right now that includes evolutionary study of an open source java program. I have been able to take all measurements just fine, except for LCOM. Everything I've found that will take this measurement is eclipse based, and the program I am studying is built using ant. To make a long story even longer, it won't build in eclipse, so I can't really use any of the tools I've found. And I lack both the time and the java expertise to persuade eclipse to build it (there are something like 1400 classes involved, depending which release I am looking at).

Before I start trying to write my own tool to do this, I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone had recommendations. I can work with either the binaries or the source files, and the only limitation (That I've found yet anyways...) is that I can't build the project in eclipse.

Also, I am not too concerned with the calculation method used for LCOM at this point (although Henderson-Sellers method would be preferred).

TIA,

Alex

You can't fit a square data in a round table
 
jaxtell, that looks like just the ticket. Thanks so much!

I will give it a go when I get a chance later today, and let you know how it works (as it works with the binaries like the other tool we have been using, Structure 101, I don't foresee any problems). I would give you 20 stars if I could!
