SonarQube for IDE analysis

Workbench for Eclipse

's integration with SonarQube for IDE (formerly known as Sonarlint) enables developers to rapidly deliver quality COBOL code by providing them with automated on-the-fly quality and standards checking. This integration includes the following functionality:

• To simplify the configuration of SonarQube for IDE,

  Workbench for Eclipse

  adds default properties to SonarQube for IDE's suffix Scanner Properties.
• If you want to run the SonarQube for IDE analyzer in locked mode, you must force the source format in SonarQube for IDE to “free”.  Perform the following steps to make your source code free:
  1. Right-click on your project in the Project Explorer > Properties > SonarLint > Analyzer Properties > New.
  2. Enter the name as sonar.cobol.sourceFormat and enter the value as free.
  3. Click Apply.
• For online projects, copybooks are automatically downloaded prior to SonarQube for IDE analysis if a concatenation list has been configured.

• Workbench for Eclipse

  provides a mechanism for pointing SonarQube for IDE to the copybook location for online projects (via a concatenation list).
