We are trying to install a CI Platform with (Jenkins,sonar,eclipse …).
So that every developer can make analysis on his code before commit, I’m wondering between two alternatives :

  • running local analysis with the sonar plugin.
  • install the different plugins that sonar use (findbug,pmd,checkstyle …) and configure them to meet the sonar configuration.

I’m not sure which alternative to use? I used to work with findbugs,pmd, checkstyle in eclipse and they look great.
Can you tell me which is the best alternative?
Thanks in advance.

Regards.

    Why not install the Sonar Eclipse plugin?

    This was designed to solve the following problems:

    • Sonar does not support parallel analysis of the same project. This issue rules out the option of each developer running Sonar locally. (See SONAR-2761, SONAR-3306)
    • You don’t really want developers uploading metrics and source code into the Sonar database. They could be working on an uncommitted workspace and would therefore cause both inaccuracies and confusion if Sonar is being used for code review.
    • Sonar is really designed to be run from a continuous integration server (like Jenkins), building code that has been submitted onto a shared codestream (or branch)

    The big advantages of using the Eclipse plugin are:

    • True local analysis, no updates of the Sonar database
    • Configuration of the other tools is retrieved from the Sonar server and jars automatically downloaded.
    • Centralized management of Sonar quality profiles
