Exclude Sonarqube's duplicate code check between two specific classes

Question

I use Sonarqube with Jenkins to check various violations. There are two classes, A and B, that have a lot of duplicated code. I know that and accept that. Therefore, I'd like to ignore these violations. However, I still want to be informed about the duplicated code from other classes, like C. I just want to ignore the duplicated code between A and B. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can resolve the issue as false positive. This will make this issue disappear from your dashboard:

• Select the issue
• Click on Bulk change > Selected issue(s)
• Choose Transition, Resolve as false positive
• Apply

That's it.
