Why java plugin in sonarlint is different?

[fanny_tan]

Hello,

I just found out that each sonarlint has different java plugin.
Here is what I got for now:
sonarlint eclipse 3.6. : java 5.4
sonarlint intellij 3.5.1 : java 5.5
sonarqube: java 5.7 (latest)
I want to know why is it different and will java plugin in sonarlint will be updated?

Hi,

Each SonarLint flavor embed the latest SonarJava analyzer at the time it was released. If you want to have a consistent behavior in all your products, you can use the connected mode.

Hi,

Connected mode means connect to my own sonarqube server, right?
I have connect to my own sonarqube server, but I got different behaviour, which I ask in my other topic.

Sonarqube and sonarlint issues result is different

Hello, I am using sonarqube 6.7.5 and sonarlint 3.6 in eclipse mars. I got different result in both of them. My sonarqube always got more. I have bind my sonarlint to my sonarqube server. Is there any other configuration? I read some topics which has same problem but I still have not get answer. Please help. Thank you

Is there any possibilities I can upgrade my sonarlint analyzer to latest version?

If you use connected mode, SonarLint will use the exact same version of the analyzers as you have on the SonarQube server.

In non connected mode, analyzers are embedded into each SonarLint releases, so you’ll have to wait for the next release.
