SonarLint Not Showing Same Scan Result as SonarQube Server

[NicoB (Nicolas Bontoux)]

Hi André,

This seems to be a classic case of issue actually not found by SonarQube core analysis engine (which is shared by SonarLint), but rather imported from a 3rd party analyzer (hence not covered by SonarLint). Your 2nd screenshot here shows an issue coming from checkstyle.

As highlighted in SonarLint FAQ:

@Julien_HENRY

Why are issues reported in SonarQube, but not in SonarLint connected mode?

90% of the time, this is because the issue is reported on SonarQube by a third party analyzer (PMD, Checkstyle, ESLint, PyLint, …). SonarLint will only run rules from SonarSource analyzers . Third party analyzers usually have their own IDE integration.

Note: seems like you could look into SonarQube’s native equivalent rule Java static code analysis: Unnecessary imports should be removed
