I need to integrate SonarQube with IBM Websphere Commerce.
How can it be done? I have googled and read multiple articles and blogs but there is no clear guideline to follow, If anyone here has experience of SonarQube integration with IBM WCS, please let me know where to start from and what to do to get code coverage.
I have read somewhere that there is a Sonar plugin for IBM RAD but it was also written that it is deprecated now, then what is now being used in place of that plugin?
The SonarQube platform offers static code analysis, so not only is there no need for integration, but there's also no possibility.
As I remember, WebSphere runs Java code, so you simply need to check out your project, compile it, and analyze it.
That assumes you've set up a SonarQube server (it's a free download). Then you're ready to analyze.

I want to run SonarQube as software as a service for my code review. In other words, I don't want a dedicated machine to host sonar for me.
Is there any cloud service available to do so?
Also, I want to integrate it with my build definition in VSTS and generate report.
How to do it?
You appear to be looking for SonarCloud, which is free for open source projects, but paid for private projects.
I want to use Spark-Java 2.0 with Jetty 9.2. The trick here is that the Maven repository for Spark has dependency on jetty 9.0. The reason is that we already have working code using 9.2. When we bind/load the Spark jar at runtime there are class load errors.
The question is what issues may arise for Spark if I do a build to use jetty 9.2?
They other question could be, can I use excludes some how to load Jetty 9.2 over the 'requested' 9.0 classes? Is that possible, or will it cause me more bother?
Let me know if you think of other considerations. Also let me know where to find release notes for Jetty if you can? I looked for Jetty release notes here: Jetty Documentation hub; it is a little disappointing because they simply link to updated manuals. I look for Release Notes to show me what's different and changed between versions -- A new manual won't help unless I have a way to do 'diff' on the two manuals.
My thinking is that a jump between 9.0 to 9.2 should be a valid increment. My thanks in advance for your insights.
I have a simple problem, with a simple answer probably, but I can't find what is it. We want to deploy SonarQube along with Checkstyle and some other tools, but we can't find out is it meant for a centralized, server deployment, or on each developer machine? All tutorials show installations on separate machines and being used in the localhost, while there is a public instance example, and the requirements and specs certainly look service-like.
On the other hand, I'm not getting how do the developers submit their code for checks if it is on a server.
So, in short, how is it deployed? Any checklist or something similar would be of great help.
The SonarQube "runtime" architecture has several elements:
SonarQube server. It contains a database (e.g., MySql) and an
embedded web server (Tomcat). The SonarQube server stores the
results of analyses (the metrics), but does not execute the code
analyses. This server provides a web UI that shows the dashboard of
the projects, various metrics and drill down into code, admin options. It uses a pluggable architecture--you can add/remove funcitionality via plug-ins.
Program that runs code analysis on the developer machine. There are options: (a) if they are using Eclipse or IntelliJ, they can use the respective SonarLint plug-in, which provides configuration properties, menu options to run analysis, a view to show violations, etc.; (b) developers can also run code analysis via maven (mvn sonar:sonar) or gradle (gradlew sonarqube); (c) developers can execute the various code analyses through a program called SonarQube Runner.
All these options of programs that run the analysis on the developer machine need to be configured to communicate with a SonarQube server. For example, when you run code analysis in IntelliJ using SonarLint, the metrics will be uploaded to the server. This server is typically shared by all developers, but it can also be localhost.
Program that runs code analysis on the CI/CD server. The job/pipeline that builds a software project can be configured to run SonarQube code analysis. It can be done via maven or gradle just like on the developer's machine, or via a plug-in. There are SonarQube CI plug-ins for Jenkins, Hudson, Bamboo, and others. Depending on the size of your project, you may want to configure the code analysis to run once a day only, and not upon each code commit or changes to dependencies. The SonarQube code analysis executed on the CI server will likewise send the generated metrics to the SonarQube server.
The SonarQube architecture documentation is very poor (not to say absent), so it's hard to get the big picture. I hope this helps.
SonarQube (formerly just "Sonar") is a server-based system. Of course you can install it on your local machine (the hardware requirements are minimal). But it is a central server with a database.
Analyses are performed by some Sonar "client" software, which could be the sonar runner, the sonar ant task, the sonar Eclipse plugin etc. The analysis results can be automatically uploaded to the server, where they can be accessed via the sonar Web application.
In an environment with many developers, you should run a build server (e.g. Hudson or Jenkins), which performs automatic sonar analyses as part of the nightly build. Other schedules are possible, but the developers should know when they can expect updates of the server-side analysis results. The results of the automated analysis can be displayed in the individual developer's Eclipse editor by way of the sonar Eclipse plugin.
The architectural documentation on Sonar is quite sparse. I've looked for a picture to visualize what I just described, but could not find one ...
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.

With Sonar plugin you can manage the violations like:
Create a review
Mark a violations as false positive or fixed
View the hot classes and hot violations
View yours reviews
If you use separate plugins you have to go sonar web to do that.
The great advance of sonar is the reviews.
Other question is how many projects you have and will have. I currently work with more than 70 projects and many profiles. Is more simple to me run analysis with one plugin, because I need just add the server and find the project. With other plugin you need add the link for each project in each plugin configuration.
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
How to use Oracle Ebusiness suite 11i with eclipse?
How do we integrate the suite so that I may use eclipse IDE [Helios] to perform development with regards to the .jsp and .java files present on the Server.
Server is Linux based.
Please let me know.. Thank you.
11i uses Apache Jserv, so you would have to try to find an Eclipse plugin that supports that. There doesn't seem to by anything on the plugin site. If you're looking to upgrade to R12 (11i goes on extended support this year), then it uses oc4j which looks like it has some plugin support. The 11i technology stack is pretty old.
