February 2014 Summaries

The SonarQube developers have developed three plugins to help developers find quality issues before checking their code in: the Eclipse plugin, the IntelliJ plugin, and the Issues Report plugin. The Eclipse and IntelliJ plugins allow for incremental mode, which shortens analysis time by only analyzing changed files. The Issues Report plugin is not an IDE plugin but rather a standalone tool that can be installed into SonarQube. All three plugins support pre-commit checks, allowing developers to identify issues before committing their code. The plugins provide various features such as tooltips, issue views, and customizable settings to suit different needs.
