Sonar Support with JSP & HTML
JSP/HTML land, usefull tests could be done via some regexp, ie check if style/css are used (to avoid dirty colors/fonts hard-coded for example).
If we want to build something pretty robust and extensible, I think we should integrate a java library which is able to transform a XHTML or badly formatted HTML document into a DOM :
http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/
http://jtidy.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nekohtml/
a complete list of available libraries is available here : http://java-source.net/open-source/html-parsers
With a DOM we could then imagine to implement a visitor pattern in order to let users create new rules.
Some very simple rules in order to start.
Rule 1: disallow scriptlets
Rule 2: disallow some taglibs (JSTL SQL comes to mind). Could be parametrized by Taglib URL to list all disallowed taglibs.
Rule 3: enforce JSP style (XML syntax)
Rule 4: disallow hard coded labels
Rule 5: disallow dynamic JSP includes (<jsp:include>)
Rule 6: disallow external file in page attribute of dynamic JSP include
Rule 7: disallow TLD location for URI in taglib declaration
For HTML
Rule 8: enforce <script> at the end of the body
Rule 9: disallow <style>
Rule 10: disallow non empty <script> content
Rule 11: enforce a limit on the number of called external files (js and css)

Sonar team released Sonar Maven Plugin 1.0-beta-2
The Sonar team is pleased to announce the release of Sonar Maven Plugin, version 1.0-beta-2.
It makes configuration easier when using a repository manager like Archiva or Nexus. Indeed no additional settings are required anymore ! Let’s remind that the version 1.0-beta-1 needs to declare a mirror in maven settings or to add a new repository to the manager.
This improvement requires Sonar 2.2+. It is automatically disabled when using sonar 2.1 or less. Upgrading to this version should be automatic if the shortcut “mvn sonar:sonar” or the hudson plugin are used.

Sonar 2.2 Released – Know what’s new in Sonar 2.2 ?
Sonar 2.2 Released – Know what’s new in Sonar 2.2 ?
The Sonar Team is pleased to announce the release of Sonar 2.2. There are two key features in this new version :
1. Filters
Users can define filters that allow to add new tabs on the homepage like :
- all projects
- projects analyzed during last 3 days
- unit tests with longest execution time
- classes of a given project with coverage < 50% and complexity>10
- treemap of projects with a given maven groupId
- my favourites (each resource : project, package, file, … can be flagged as favourite)
Administrators can customize the default filters displayed in the homepage and users can define their own filters.
Some screenshots :
- homepage
- display as treemap
- create/edit a filter :
- flag projects, packages, classes as favourites
then quickly list them
.
2. Plugin classloaders
Plugins are now executed in independent classloaders. The main advantage is that plugins can declare their own dependencies instead of being limited to Sonar libraries. That’s a major improvement for developing plugins.
More details in the section “How to use external dependencies?”
of the documentation. You can read also this page
to know how to upgrade existing plugins.
On top of those 2 features, this release contains more than 60 improvements and bug-fixes (see the release notes
), including Checkstyle/PMD upgrades and support of Clover 3. To enjoy the new version, you can download it straight away
.
Special thanks to all the contributors who provided patches, gave their feedback or helped us improving Sonar.
