How to replace Findbugs by similar SonarJava rules

SonarQube Server / Community Build

We would like to get rid of the Findbugs plugin and replace the FB rules we currently have activated by SonarJava rules.
Is there something like a list which contains information about which SonarJava rule is identical ro/does replace which Findbug rule? Or maybe if there is no such list: are there other possibilities to do this replacement in an easy way?

Same applies to PMD and Checkstyle, but there we have less rules activated so it will anyhow be less work to find the possible replacement rules.

Thanks and regards, Wiebke

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

We used to maintain lists like this, but that got dropped quite a while ago.

I think the easiest thing to do here is to run both, side-by-side, and then see which issues FindBugs (and PMD…) raises that aren’t also raised by SonarQube. Then we can investigate whether it’s a rule that’s not on by default in SonarQube, or one we may want to work on adding.

 
HTH,
Ann

Hi Ann,

thank you for this feedback. Very unfortunate that there are no lists. I will try to do it as you described.

I don’t know why archive.org is rate-limiting me at the moment (maybe it’s the network I’m on), but maybe you can find some useful (but very outdated) info here: Wayback Machine

Edit: here’s one for sure: https://web.archive.org/web/20181014155927/http://dist.sonarsource.com/reports/coverage/findbugs.html

Thanks Colin!

I found there a version of the list from 2018. Maybe it will anyhow help.
