Design smells with inheritance related symptoms not calculated

[bzafiris]

Hello to all, thanks for sharing ptidej tools!

I am trying to use SmellDetectionCaller in order to identify design smells from exclusively from source code files in Java projects.

I have forked SmellDetectionCaller repository and analyze projects through
SmellDetectionHelper.analyseCodeLevelModelFromJavaSourceFilesEclipse()

However, code smells with inherited-related symptoms, e.g. BaseClassKnowsDerivedClass are not detected at all. For instance, the smell should have been detected in class DefaultAxisEditor

I traced SmellDetectionCaller execution and realized that some metrics (e.g. NOC, DIT) are not properly calculated, e.g. when metric calculation is invoked in sad.codesmell.detection.repository.BaseClassKnowsDerivedClass.HasChildrenDetection

public void detect(final IAbstractLevelModel anAbstractLevelModel) {
		final Set classesHasChildren = new HashSet();
		
		final Iterator iter = anAbstractLevelModel.getIteratorOnTopLevelEntities();
		while (iter.hasNext()) {
			final IEntity entity = (IEntity) iter.next();
			if (entity instanceof IClass) {
				final IClass aClass = (IClass) entity;
				final double NOC = ((IUnaryMetric) MetricsRepository.getInstance()
                                                            .getMetric("NOC")).compute(anAbstractLevelModel, aClass);
// ...

For instance NOC for DefaultAxisEditor is 0, while it should have been 2.

Is this a ICodeLevelModel configuration issue related to SmellDetectionHelper.analyseCodeLevelModelFromJavaSourceFilesEclipse or SmellDetectionHelper.analyseCodeLevelModel ?

Thank you in advance
