A SonarLint plugin for Netbeans from hmvictor but updated for latest SonarQube, and with a view to see errors more easily.

It runs SonarLint in connected mode when a file is saved or opened and it shows the issues as editor annotations.

To see the rule details, put the caret position in the line with a issue and choose the item Show Rule Details in the contextual menu or hold Ctrl key and click over the annotated line.

The SonarQube server url (default is http://localhost:9000) and security user token can be set in Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > SonarQube.

SonarLint can be enabled (default value) or disabled per project in Properties > SonarLint (for example, if the SonarQube server is down). A list of excluded files can also be defined in this section. You can specified the project key of the SonarQube project too if not found.

Menu Window > Sonar On Fly shows in the output a view to:

• turn off/on Sonar analyse
• the status of the analyse: if OK, the server was found and analyse is completed
• the projet used for analyse: you can change it if it's not the correct one, as the plugin tries to guess the project to use if not specified or exactly found
• show/hide problems in the editor, to reduce errors displayed when editing the code
• the list of the issues founds, sorted by level:
  • double click on the issue will go to the line
  • a simple click on the issue key will display the issue rule

This view is updated when the document is saved, or checkbox "Activate" or combo box "project" changes.

Download the NBM and install using Tools > Plugins.

Meanwhile, you can compile the plugin with maven (execute mvn install, plugin file with the nbm extension will be generated in the target directory) and do a manual installation.

The project was made with Java 11.
