Build and Analyze a .net 4 project in Maven Sonar – Part 4

Now you need to configure sonar.properties file in sonar/conf.In this file you need to do some minor changes based on your project.  Those are changing the default database if you are not using derby and change username and password of your database.

#——————————————————–
# To use an environment variable, use the following syntax :  ${env:NAME_OF_ENV_VARIABLE}
# For example :
#   sonar.jdbc.url: ${env:SONAR_JDBC_URL}
#
#
# See also the file conf/wrapper.conf for JVM advanced settings
#———————————————————
#———————————————————
# WEB
# THESE SETTINGS ARE USED ONLY IN STANDALONE MODE. IGNORED WHEN THE WAR IS DEPLOYED ON A JEE SERVER.
#———————————————————
# Listen host/port and context path (for example / or /sonar). Default values are 0.0.0.0:9000/
#sonar.web.host:                           0.0.0.0
#sonar.web.port:                           9000
#sonar.web.context:                        /

# Log HTTP requests. Deactivated by default.
#sonar.web.jettyRequestLogs: ../../logs/jetty-yyyy_mm_dd.request.log

# Apache mod_jk connector. Supported only in standalone mode.
# Uncomment to activate AJP13 connector.
#sonar.ajp13.port: 8009

#———————————————————
# DATABASE
#———————————————————

#—– Embedded database
# Comment the following lines to deactivate the default embedded database (used only for tests and demos)
sonar.jdbc.url:                            jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/sonar;create=true
sonar.jdbc.driverClassName:                org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver
sonar.jdbc.validationQuery:                values(1)

# data directory, autodetected : /data if standalone application, /WEB-INF/classes/data if WAR deployement (exploded mode)
#sonar.embeddedDatabase.dataDir:
# derby embedded database server listening port, defaults to 1527
#sonar.derby.drda.portNumber:               1527

#—– MySQL 5.x/6.x
# Comment the embedded database and uncomment the following lines to use MySQL
#sonar.jdbc.url:                            jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8
#sonar.jdbc.driverClassName:                com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
#sonar.jdbc.validationQuery:                select 1
#—– Oracle 10g/11g
# Comment the embedded database and uncomment the following lines to use Oracle
#sonar.jdbc.url:                            jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost/XE
#sonar.jdbc.driverClassName:                oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
#sonar.jdbc.validationQuery:                select 1 from dual

# Activate if more than one Sonar Oracle schemas on the data server (for example different versions installed).
# In that case, use the same property during maven analysis (-Dsonar.hibernate.default_schema=xxx)
#sonar.hibernate.default_schema:            sonar

#—– PostgreSQL 8.x
# uncomment the 3 following lines to use PostgreSQL
#sonar.jdbc.url:                            jdbc:postgresql://localhost/sonar
#sonar.jdbc.driverClassName:                org.postgresql.Driver
#sonar.jdbc.validationQuery:                select 1
#—– Microsoft SQLServer
# The Jtds open source driver is available in extensions/jdbc-driver/mssql. More details on http://jtds.sourceforge.
# sonar.jdbc.url:                           

# sonar.jdbc.driverClassName:                net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
# sonar.jdbc.validationQuery:                select 1 
#—– Global database settings
sonar.jdbc.username:                       sonar 
sonar.jdbc.password:                       sonar
sonar.jdbc.maxActive:                      10
sonar.jdbc.maxIdle:                        5
sonar.jdbc.minIdle:                        2
sonar.jdbc.maxWait:                        5000
sonar.jdbc.minEvictableIdleTimeMillis:     600000
sonar.jdbc.timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis:  30000

# Transaction isolation level. Default driver setting is used by default.
# Values : 1 (TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITED), 2 (TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED), 4 (TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ), 8 (TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE)
# sonar.jdbc.defaultTransactionIsolation: 2
# When packaged in a WAR, JDBC datasource can be configured into the application server then registered to JNDI.
# In such a case Sonar uses this datasource to connect to database, else if binds itself its own datasource.
# Note : Jonas does not accept to bind subcontexts, so name should be something like ‘jdbc-sonar’, without slashes.
# sonar.jdbc.jndiName:                       jdbc/sonar

# If you don’t use the default JDBC drivers, as listed above, then you have to explicitly set the dialect to use.
# Values are : mysql, derby, oracle, postgresql
# sonar.jdbc.dialect=
# ——————————————————–
# EXTENSIONS
# ——————————————————–
# Absolute path of coding rules extensions (custom rules that are not provided with tools like Checkstyle or PMD).
# This parameter is useful when Sonar is deployed as a WAR. It avoids from packaging the WAR file each time extensions JARs are updated.
# The directory contains subdirectories like checkstyle/ and pmd/
# Example :
# sonar.rules.extensionsPath:  /user/home/jdoe/sonar/extensions
# Example for windows platform (backslash char must be escaped) :
# sonar.rules.extensionsPath:  D:\\softwares\\sonar-1.8\\extensions

You are done with your configurations. Now show time, go to commnd prompt and enter following two commands

mvn clean install -Dtest=false -DfailIfNoTests=false

mvn sonar:sonar

All the best…………..!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Build and Analyze a .net 4 project in Maven Sonar – Part 3

We have come to the final stages of the maven configuration. After we create settings.xml properly we are done with maven. It resides within M2_HOME/conf/.When you open the default settings.xml file, you will see that it has lot of lines and  most are commented. You just need to  add plugins at appropriate places. Keep other lines as they are. So the basic structure would be as following with dotnet and sonar plugins been added. Do necessary changes within plugins. Ex:- <galio.directory>, <sonar.jdbc.url> etc. Change them according to your installations and project properties.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<settings xmlns=”http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0“
          xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance“

</settings>

Next configuring sonar.properties file. After that we are done………………. 🙂

Build and Analyze a .net 4 project in Maven Sonar – Part 2

Time has come to  configure  maven. Before that run mvn –version in cmd and double check whether maven is installed correctly. if maven is ready next thing to do is creating the pom.xml file. Following is a sample pom.xml file for a .net 4 application. it includes all the necessary plugins. Below mentioned plugin versions are compatible with sonar 2.8 and maven 3.0.3. If you are using any other versions of maven or sonar(remember you should have atleast sonar 2.4 and maven 3.0) please check plugins’ compatibility, otherwise it would be a big headache.

<project xmlns=”http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0&#8243; xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&#8221; xsi:schemaLocation=”http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd”&gt;
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>org.codehaus.maven.dotnet.example</groupId>
<artifactId>example</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>YourProject</name>
<packaging>sln</packaging>
<properties>
<visual.studio.solution>YourProject.sln</visual.studio.solution>
<visual.test.project.pattern>*.Tests</visual.test.project.pattern>
<dotnet.tool.version>4.0</dotnet.tool.version>
<sonar.language>cs</sonar.language>
</properties>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.sonar-plugins.dotnet</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dotnet-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.5</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-2</version> <configuration>
<language>cs</language>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>

Now keep this in the folder where your .sln resides.You can see that I have defined two plugins in my pom. Those are maven-dotnet and sonar-maven. Be carefull there are two types of sonar-maven plugin, org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin and org.codehaus.sonar:sonar-maven-plugin. I’m using the first one because it make our lives easier. need to know how???? follow  http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Frequently+Asked+Questions#FrequentlyAskedQuestions-Whatisthedifferencebetweenorg.codehaus.mojo%3Asonarmavenpluginandorg.codehaus.sonar%3Asonarmavenplugin%3F

Next you need to install several applications which are needed by maven-dotnet plugin. Those are

• MsBuild
• Gallio
• PartCover
• NCover
• Source Monitor
• Fx Cop
• Style Cop
• Mono Gendarme

http://maven-dotnet-plugin.appspot.com/usage.html provides a comprehensive guide of these applications. Configuring the settings.xml file in maven/conf is the next thing you must do………………………….let’s see that in the next blog post 🙂

Build and Analyze a .net 4 project in Maven Sonar – Part 1

Hi everyone, I recently build a .net4(C#) project using maven and analysed code quality reports using sonar.While doing so I searched the web for any comprehensive tutorials but found nothing.So I thought to share my knowledge withh you.I will describe the entire process step by step through couple of blog posts First we need to clarify basic requirements to build and analyze a .net 4 application.

• JDK 1.6 (older versions are not compatible with maven-dotnet plugin, don’t worry  we are going to discover later all these plugins we need :))
• Maven 3.0 or higher (older versions are not compatible with sonar-maven plugin)
• Sonar 2.4 or higher (older versions are not compatible with sonar-dotnet plugin version 0.5. versions older than 0.3 are not compatible with .net 4 and version 0.4 is advised to ommit because it has a nasty error)
• .net 4 framework

Now you know basic requirements. So install JDK 1.6, Maven 3.0 or higher and Sonar 2.4 or higher. Now configuring maven correctly………….it will be the next blog post 🙂
