CodeSonar Plug-in for Eclipse: Import Analysis Results

JavaScript is not currently enabled, but is required for full CodeSonar manual search and browse functionality.

If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

The CodeSonar plug-in for Eclipse supports importing analysis results from a CodeSonar hub.

Use this feature to view results of analyses performed by other users, or outside the Eclipse plug-in.

Note that results from other languages can also be imported to Eclipse.

If you have not already installed the CodeSonar plug-in for Eclipse, install it now.

Results for an analysis can only be imported by a user with the following permissions.

If special user Anonymous does not have these permissions, you will need to authenticate the import operation as a hub user account that does have them (and also has G_SIGN_IN and G_SIGN_IN_PASSWORD).

To import an analysis of the current project:

Select CodeSonar > Enable > Import Analysis Results.
A dialog will open, requesting an Analysis URL.

Enter the URL of the analysis you want to import.

This is the URL of the corresponding web GUI Analysis page.

The general form of the URL is

http://hub_location/analysis/analysis_id.html

Click OK.

If a hub authentication dialog is presented, enter your hub user account username and password and click OK.
The hub authentication dialog will not be presented if you have already configured a suitable authentication type and credentials in the hub connection settings dialog.

The CodeSonar plug-in will proceed with the import.

If there is a problem with the URL (for example, because it does not correspond to an existing CodeSonar analysis), the dialog will display an error message explaining the problem. Make any necessary changes to the specified URL and then click OK again.
Otherwise, the CodeSonar plug-in will import the analysis and open an Analysis Report view to display analysis information.

The plug-in functionality for viewing analysis results applies to imported analyses just as it does to analyses performed by the plug-in.

The Analysis Report view provides information about the analysis and its results.

Warning views provide detailed information about individual warnings.

Warning markers and highlighting are overlaid on source listings.
Note that warning markers and source code navigation functionality are applied to the local copies of source files. These local copies may not be identical to the files analyzed by the imported analysis, so the locations of imported markings and navigation targets may not coordinate directly with local file contents.

Note that results from other languages (beyond C, C++, and Java) can be imported and viewed in Eclipse.

As an alternative to importing analyses, you can view their information in the web GUI.

The Project page includes a table summarizing all analyses of a project.

Click a table entry in the Project page to view the corresponding Analysis page.

The web GUI also supports searching for analyses.

The following sections provide detailed information about installing and using the CodeSonar plug-in for Eclipse.
