Verifying Java code using SonarQube

Now let's a new Quality Profile and assign the project so every time static code analysis is performed, the default profile is not but a custom profile is utilized.

Getting ready

1. Go to Quality Profiles and in the Java section, copy the default profile:

2. Give a specific name to it and click on Copy:

3. We can specify projects for a specific Quality Profile by clicking on Change Projects as well:

4. Assign a Quality Profile to your project so that the same profile is used every time a static code analysis is performed. Hence, we can use different profiles for different projects based on our requirements.

How to do it...

1. Go to the Jenkins dashboard and click on New Item.
2. Give the Name and select Freestyle project.
3. Provide the Repository URL in the Source Code Management section.
4. Go to the Build section and select Execute SonarQube Scanner.
