Sonar is good for reporting but I do not know if sonar can send notifications. On the other hand a failing build provides a constant reminder that there are some issues to fix. Furthermore, after fixes a CI build can give feedback for new patches, we need not to check sonar to see its impact. It would be immediately available with a failed build. regards, Rahul ________________________________________ From: Matthias Friedrich [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2012 4:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Continuous Integration is up and running

I wasn't planning on doing this before release though. IIRC, Sonar and FindBugs flag 30-40 potentially critical bugs (no blockers!) and about 30 package dependency cycles. We won't get that done before release and Checkstyle is a bit lower on my agenda :) > @Matthias : please add my address to the notification list. I've added you and Gabriel to the notification list.
