SonarQube for IDE (formerly SonarLint) is an extension that helps you detect and fix quality and security issues as you write code. Like a spell checker, SonarQube for IDE squiggles flaws so they can be fixed before committing code. You can get it directly from the Eclipse Marketplace, and it will then detect new bugs and quality issues as you code for the following languages: Java/JSP (available with JDT), JS/TS/CSS (available with Node.js), HTML, PHP, and Python.
If your project is analyzed on SonarQube (Server, Cloud), SonarQube for IDE can connect to it to retrieve the appropriate quality profiles and settings for that project, some additional language support (see the next paragraph), and see what issues are already present on the server to be synchronized with the local IDE. This enables you to share all the necessary configurations with your co-workers and peers and you can already fix and resolve issues locally before they appear on the server!
If the Connected Mode is used, the additional languages are ABAP, Apex, C/C++ (available with CDT), COBOL/JCL (available with a COBOL-IDE), Kotlin, PL/I, PL/SQL, RPG, Ruby, Scala, and T-SQL.
Discover more at https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarlint/eclipse/
SonarQube for IDE: Eclipse requires the IDE to use Java 11+ as its runtime, but you can analyze Java projects targeting older or newer Java versions. IDEs running on Java 10 or older are no longer supported!
To run analyzers from SonarQube Server 10.5+ and SonarQube Cloud that require a Java 17 runtime, we provide our own one for the analysis if the IDE itself is not running on a sufficient JRE. If you want to use your own one to keep full control, take a look at the dedicated documentation.
For any questions or feedback, including bugs or feature requests, please join the SonarSource Community Forum.

Unable to find source of error
Submitted by Louis Voisine on Mon, 06/18/2018 - 05:50
I've installed SonarLint and correctly linked my project to my remote server and remote project, I've marked as 'excluded' all the library files of my project (Symfony PHP web project), but when I want to run an analysis, I always get the following error no matter the configuration :
An internal error occurred during: "SonarLint analysis of project dashboard (1 992 files to analyze, 14 excluded)".
Could not initialize class org.sonar.channel.ChannelDispatcher
If someone has already had the same error and knows how to solve it, any help is welcome !

Cannot install in Mars or Oxygen

I get the following when I try to install:
Unable to read repository at h ttps://eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/content.xml.

I have the Market Place client installed. Any suggestions?

In reply to Cannot install in Mars or Oxygen by Joseph Duke
This is a composite update site, so Eclipse should be looking first for https://eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/compositeContent.xml (which exists). If for some reason Eclipse can't get the compositeContent.xml it will try as a fallback fallback to get content.xml (that doesn't exists). So the message is misleading.
If you are behind a corporate proxy, I would check with your infra team why you can't fetch https://eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/compositeContent.xml.

I can click on both of those links you provided, while in the office which does have a corporate fire wall, and I can retrieve both of the XML files.

I have the same Problem, after "Confirm selected..." I got:
Unknown Host: //eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/content.xml
eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org
If I try to open this URL in a browser:
Not Found
The requested URL /content.xml was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hi,
I fixed this problem adding in my eclipse.ini the next lines:
-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2
Observation: I'm behind a proxy and configurated my proxy in windows --> preference --> proxy!

Mismatch between Sonar server and sonar lint reported issue
Submitted by Alpesh Shah on Thu, 12/01/2016 - 08:29
Hi,
Goal of installing this plugin is to see issues before actually shown on build machine. However, for me issues in Eclipse reported by sonar lint is different from reported on server. We are using server version 5.6 and sonarlint version 2.3.1.

This is very strange since we have no relation at all with SourceForge. Can you please join SonarLint user group so that we can investigate (this is not the best place to handle support).
