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.
Enable more rules, or mute some
In Eclipse preferences you can choose which rules should be active or not. You can also mute rules on-the-fly via a quick-fix option, or from the list of issues.
Find logs if you need them
Under the Eclipse Console view, show the SonarLint Console, and optionally activate analysis or verbose logs.
SonarLint can be used together with SonarQube or SonarCloud, allowing your team
to always be on the same page when it comes to Code Quality and Security.
Your team on the same page
- All the team uses the same code quality
and security rules - Project settings (such as code exclusions)
are shared at team level - Team members are notified if a breaking
change makes it in the main branch
Additional language support!
- Kotlin
- Ruby
- Scala
I’m in! How do I activate this in SonarLint?
First connect to a server via the SonarLint General Settings,
then bind the project under SonarLint Project Settings.
