SonarLint for Eclipse - upcoming version 2 scheduled date and compatibility

Question

is there any planned date for SonarLint 2.0 release?

And will it be compatible with SonarQube 4.5.5?

We started using SonarQube 4.5.5 a few months ago. We couldn't adopt the latest SonarQube release, because we couldn't use the latest Eclipse plug-in. We're still using an old Eclipse version.

However, we're planning on adopting the latest Eclipse version on February/March 2016 and I believe we need to use the SonarLint plug-in.

I was told that the old SonarQube Eclipse plug-in is no longer compatible with the latest Eclipse version.

Is this correct?

Thanks.

Regards, Nuno

There's no precise ETA for SonarLint 2.0 yet. We are making sure that the 1.x series are working perfectly before moving on this next version that will bring the connected mode.

I don't know who told you that the SonarQube Eclipse is no longer compatible with latest Eclipse version, you should check things by yourself on the documentation page before asking the question: it is pretty clear that the plugin is perfectly compatible with Eclipse Mars and SQ 4.5 LTS.
