Reports from PMD, checkstyle, findbugs

Question

I have a few modules(projects and subprojects) in my application (in Gradle) and i have added plugins: PMD, checkstyle, findbugs. Those plugins create their own reports in their directory (for example: PMD makes directory "PMD" in directory "reports" and put there report). I would like to have a one report for all those plugins. It is possible to do that? And if yes, how do that?

Answer 1

You can't simply configure them to create a shared report together. However, you can use for this purpose either SonarQube or QualityGate. Both tools can execute the above mentioned plugins and they can generate a summarized report as you required.

Answer 2

You probably want take a look at SonarQube. It basically gathers reports of mentioned tools and shows them via nice web app. It can also gather test coverage reports and is free.

Not sure how it can be integrated with Gradle, but we have it integrated with Jenkins. There is also Eclipse plugin I used.

QualityGate (that was mentioned by Csuki) is paid solution.
