Solution Description

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), C/C++ (available with CDT), JS/TS/CSS (available with Node.js), HTML, XML, 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, 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/sonarqube-for-ide/eclipse/

SonarQube for IDE 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.

While most of the languages do not rely on third-party or official Eclipse plug-ins to function, there might always be a good companion around. Please check yourself.

For any questions or feedback, including bugs or feature requests, please join the SonarSource Community Forum. We monitor reviews here as well but the Community Forum will offer you faster responses!

I get the following when I try to install:

 

Unable to read repository at h ttps://eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/content.xml.
Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?

 

I have the Market Place client installed.  Any suggestions?

Submitted by Julien HENRY on Wed, 02/21/2018 - 09:07

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.

Submitted by Frank Glück on Fri, 04/13/2018 - 06:19

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.

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 !

Hi, I am getting below issue during SonarLint installation in Eclipse Photon. Though it was working fine in Oxygen and Neon. Unable to read repository at https:eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org compositeContent.xml sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target Can anyone help me?

We use Lombok (https://projectlombok.org/) to reduce boilerplate in our Java code. Lombok also runs as an agent to show the generated boilerplate code in the IDE. That seems to be a problem for SonarLint as it produces these messages:

An internal error occurred during: "SonarLint processing file /platform-api/src/test/java/com/elavon/eliminator/platform/authentication/LdapAuthenticationServiceTest.java".
lombok/launch/PatchFixesHider$Transform

I had to uninstall the SonarLint plugin because of that.

Submitted by Jean-Baptiste … on Thu, 02/20/2020 - 02:48

Hello, thank you for your feedback.

There were a few reports on our community forum about problems due to interaction with Lombok - see e.g https://community.sonarsource.com/t/sonarlint-eclipse-plugin-eclipse-wi…

Could you please update to the lastest versions of both SonarLint and Lombok? In case of any issue, please report them on the aforementioned forum so that we can track them.

Submitted by Johan Goosen on Fri, 05/15/2020 - 09:54

Also having the same issue with regards to lombok. 

Using Eclipse Neon Release (4.6.0), SonarLint 5.1, Lombok 1.18.12.

Error:
When opening a Java file in Eclipse that uses Lombok annotations an exception is shown in the IDE: 
An internal error occurred during: “SonarLint processing file /…java”.
lombok/launch/PatchFixesHider$Transform

Other related posts/forums suggest updating Lombok to 1.18.12 which did not resolve the issue for me.

<p>Hey Julien, can you check again please? We are having troubles again with the following error:<br />

Getting following error:

Unable to read repository at https:\/\/eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/content.xml.
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Submitted by Ronnie Downing on Thu, 01/14/2021 - 10:49

I, too get:

Unable to read repository at (https) eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/content.xml.
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Can hit other websites from eclipse and external browner, but both (https) eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/content.xml and (http) eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org are not found. Not Found doesn't appear to be a java keystore issue, as some of the help links suggest. Is something else wrong? Is there a way to simply download the plugin rather than install it from marketplace?

Thanks!

Hello Kiran,

Thanks for using SonarLint for Eclipse and reporting this. I don't see any reference to SonarLint in the error message that you posted, could you double check installing SonarLint really is the cause of the issue ? If you had the 'Contact all update sites during install to find required software' option activated, could you try to unselect it ?

If you still face the issue, I invite you to post a new thread on https://community.sonarsource.com/c/help/sl/11 so we can better help you. It could also benefit other users having the same issue.

Thanks
