Hi friends.

I started to learn Kotlin from a few months ago, and I really like it.

But when I start to create my develop environment, I can not find a step count tool for Kotlin source file.

I used this plug-in for many years:  
[GitHub - takezoe/stepcounter](https://github.com/takezoe/stepcounter)  
It support a lot types of source file, include Java, XML, JavaScript, CSS and so on,  
but Kotlin is not supported.

I read the source code of this plug-in, and think it is not very good.

Anyway, I decided to create a new tool for this purpose.

I finished the most core function, and upload it to GitHub:  
[GitHub - LiYing2010/SourceCounter: Source Step Counter for Kotlin and Java](https://github.com/LiYing2010/SourceCounter)

Now it can count Kotlin and Java source files.

I will add more functions to it:  
(1)create a Eclipse plug-in, so you can count source code from the Eclipse IDE  
(2)add more source file type supported

Please take a look at this tool, and tell me what you think.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Hi friends, my plugin is almost finished.  
It can run in Eclipse, and count the source file lines for Kotlin and Java files.

You can see the screenshots in the GitHub page:

>
> Source Step Counter for Kotlin and Java. Contribute to LiYing2010/SourceCounter development by creating an account on GitHub.

I will make it better in the following days:  
(1)create a update site  
(2)add more file type support

Please take a look, and tell me what you think.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

And can display the result in Pie Chart and Bar Chart
