Integration of Sonar in IDE to enable instant feedback to developer

by Evgeny Mandrikov for The Codehaus

Sonar is web platform which can be used by all stakeholders, whatever they are manager, team leader, developer, qa analyst, ... The main benefit of the platform is to ease the communication between all those stakeholders when times come to talk about source code quality. But it's a bit cumbersome for a developer to use Sonar during his daily work as it's not integrated into his IDE. The Sonar IDE project should offer a full integration into the IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ Idea, ...).
