Calling Sonar from my java program

Question

I have installed sonar server on my localhost. And I am able to run and analyse the java project. Even i have installed sonar plugin on eclipse.

But I want to run sonar from my java project(like simple java class) and should retrieve the sonar results and able to save it in database. I searched for the tutorial but unable to find the answer for this. Please anyone can give sample code or resource where I can gain knowledge to overcome this task.

import javax.annotation.Resource;


import org.sonar.wsclient.Host;
import org.sonar.wsclient.Sonar;
import org.sonar.wsclient.connectors.HttpClient4Connector;
import org.sonar.wsclient.services.*;

public class SonarTask1{

public static void main(String[] args) {
    //public void Hi(){
    String url = "http://localhost:9000";
    String login = "admin";
    String password = "admin";
    Sonar sonar = new Sonar(new HttpClient4Connector(new Host(url, login, password)));

    String projectKey = "java-sonar-runner-simple";
    String manualMetricKey = "burned_budget";

    sonar.create(ManualMeasureCreateQuery.create(projectKey, manualMetricKey).setValue(50.0));

    for (ManualMeasure manualMeasure : sonar.findAll(ManualMeasureQuery.create(projectKey))) {
      System.out.println("Manual measure on project: " + manualMeasure);
    }
  }

}

Answer 1

There are 2 things you can do from a Java program:

• launch a Sonar analysis: look into the Sonar Ant Task (in method #launchAnalysis) to see how to do that very easily.

• retrieve results from the Sonar server: check the Web API for that purpose

About the " java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpRequestBase" you need this dependencies (Sonar WS uses them)

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
    <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>


<dependency>
  <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
  <version>1.7.7</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.2</version>
</dependency>

Also, I'd recommend when using Eclipse IDE, update maven project and check force update of snapshots/releases, because somehow org.apache.httpclient wasn't being able to be recognized by classpath
