And go further
Out-of-the-box, SonarLint reports issues on the files you're editing.
There are a few more options you can use if you wish.
Exclude specific files and issues
You can tell SonarLint which files should not be analyzed. Just right-click on any file to access the SonarLint menu, or manage File Exclusions in your Project Properties.
Mute specific rules
A quick-fix option lets you deactivate the rule if it's not relevant to you. You can also do it from the list of issues, or globally in the Eclipse preferences.
Find logs if you need them
Under the Eclipse Console view, show the SonarLint Console, and optionally activate analysis or verbose logs.
Connect to SonarCloud or to a SonarQube server
To have rules, issues and exclusions synched. First connect to a server via the SonarQube Servers View: right click > New Server connection. Then bind your project: right-click project > SonarLint > Bind.
