Usage & Installation

1. Install from Update Center or download the JAR into the directory /extensions/plugins/
2. Restart Sonar

3. Define the SCM URL of your project (see SCM URL Format).
   Example for Maven pom.xml :

   <scm> <connection>scm:svn:http://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/trunk/scm-activity</connection> <developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/trunk/scm-activity</developerConnection> <url>http://svn.sonar-plugins.codehaus.org</url> </scm>

   Or you can use Project Setting - SCM URL.
   Or specify it via property sonar.scm.url.

4. Go to Global/Project Settings
   1. Enable plugin. This plugin disabled by default, because can dramatically increase analysis time of your project
   2. Specify User (sonar.scm.user.secured) and Password (sonar.scm.password.secured) if needed; if specified then developerConnection will be used, otherwise connection
5. Launch a new quality analysis and the metrics will be fed

Known problems and limitations

Subversion "Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted"

Add following to .subversion/servers:

[global]
ssl-authority-files = /path/certificate.crt
ssl-trust-default-ca = yes

CVS anonymous access not working "org.apache.maven.scm.ScmException: password is required."

Try to set empty password for repository in .cvspass. For example :

/1 :pserver:anonymous@javacaltools.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/javacaltools A

I use Git and the annotated sources sometimes display a wrong/old author name

The plugin uses 'git blame' command to find out the author of each line. Because a user can commit with different author name/email, it is advised to have a .mailmap file at the root of the repository. This file is used by 'git blame' to find out canonical name/email of each user.

See http://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame#_mapping_authors
