将FindBugs自定义规则转换为SonarQube

Question

Last year I wrote a custom FindBugs rule with requirements as described in this Stackoverflow post . I would like to write this rule using the new SonarQube Java rules. I located general custom rule documentation on SonarQube's site which links to samples, etc.

Is there documentation describing how to convert a custom FindBugs rule written in Java to SonarQube format? Given the number of rules the SonarQube team has converted, I was hoping there might be basic guidance to use as a starting point, but I haven't located anything in my Google searching.

Answer 1

The hardest part about rewriting a FindBugs rule in a SonarQube plugin is understanding what the rule does. After that it's just a matter of implementing the proper logic.

Since you wrote the logic of the original rule, you've already won half the battle. The rest is pure implementation & unfortunately there are no shortcuts. If you have specific API questions, though you can get them answered in the SonarQube Google group
