Install Sonar Service

1. set JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java(optional);

2. install database: apt-get install mysql-server;

3. download sonar-3.5.1.zip and extract to /opt/sonar-server;

4. test startup: $SONAR_HOME/bin/linux-x86-32/sonar.sh console, web browser: http://localhost:9000;

5. build database: root@chadpc56:/opt/sonar-server/sonar-3.5.1/extras/database/mysql# mysql -u root -p < create_database.sql;

6. modify db config: comment out "sonar.jdbc.url: jdbc:h2...", uncomment "sonar.jdbc.url: jdbc:mysql..." in $SONAR_SERVER/conf/sonar.properties;

7. verify db operations: $SONAR_HOME/bin/linux-x86-32/sonar.sh console, you can see many tables are created in mysql db, then mysqlshow sonar -u sonar -p, with password "sonar", you can see a list of tables created;

8. start sonar service: nohup $SONAR_HOME/bin/linux-x86-32/sonar.sh start 1>/dev/null &, you can monitor its startup via tail -f $SONAR_HOME/logs/sonar.log;

Note: If using zsh, you have to add disown %1 to detach background job from current shell, or your background jobs will be killed when you logged out, even it was nohupped. (or you can add "setopt nohup" in .zshrc to the same effect).

Note: add sonar.login & sonar.password in sonar-project.properties;

Analyse Java Project with Ant Task

Build a Demo Java Project

1. apt-get install ant;

2. copy junit-4.11.jar and hamcrest-core-1.3.jar to lib folder of ant(/usr/share/ant/lib);

3. create build.xml:
