Introduction​

In this post, we are going to discuss the process of installing, configuring, and connecting SonarLint in IntelliJ IDE with the SonarQube server. Please note that this post does not cover the installation and configuration of SonarQube server.

Brief explanation of SonarLint and SonarQube​

SonarLint is an IDE extension that helps developers identify and resolve quality issues while writing code. It analyzes code for a variety of issues such as bugs, vulnerabilities, code smells and provides suggestions to fix them. It allows developers to resolve code quality issues early on in the development process and reduce the cost of maintenance.

SonarQube is an open-source tool which can be integrated with build tools, such as Jenkins, for continuous inspection and automatic static analysis of code quality to detect vulnerabilities, bugs and code smells in build process.
