Difference between SonarLint for Eclipse and SonarLint for Eclipse Source code

[Ramapriya (Ramapriya Thangamuthu)]

While Installing SonarLint, I see two options “SonarLint for Eclipse and SonarLint for Eclipse SourceCode”. Currently, I installed only SonarLint for Eclipse. I tried searching for a manual that explains the difference between the two. Can’t find any. Please help.

Thanks,
Ramapriya

Hello,

It’s common in the Eclipse world to let users install the source code of a plugin, that usually comes as a separate feature. This can be useful to access Javadoc or browse the original code. It is not mandatory, so only installing the “SonarLint for Eclipse” feature should work.

Hope this helped
