Hi,
are the Findbugs rules going to be replaced over the long term by Sonar-internal rules?
In https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5479019/is-sonarqube-replacement-for-checkstyle-pmd-findbugs, a SonarSource employee said in 2014:

" SonarQube is currently on the way to deprecate PMD, Checkstyle and Findbugs and use their own technology to analyze Java code (called SonarJava). They do it, because they don’t want to spend their time fixing, upgrading (or waiting on it) those libraries (e.g. for Java 8), which for example uses outdated libraries. "

I also found it here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sonarqube/J2EYEFx5fkw (2015). This indicates a replacement of FindBugs. However, the overview link is no longer available and I suspected that SonarSource has given up on that.

Hi,

For the record, I don’t see any answers from SonarSource employees - current or former - to that SO question. At the same time, it’s true that we did at one point say we were planning to replace FindBugs. We worked on that for a while, and then decided to go our own way.

 
HTH,
