Static analysis for oVirt

[Piotr Kliczewski]

Allon,

Sonar is similar to findbugs but it gives you code duplication, complexity,
coverage and help you understand how metrics change over the time.
There is a bit "noise" with default configuration but it can be nicely
tuned: http://www.sonarqube.org/screencasts/configuring-coding-rules/
you can run it together with your Jenkins build by using:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Sonar+plugin

I used it in the past with Java code and I can say it gives good
understanding of the code quality. I can help to set it up for one or more
projects if there is a will to experiment.

Thanks,
Piotr
