This is PAL's forked thingie with Gradle.

• File > Import ... (not open)
• Gradle > Gradle Project
• Select the folder containing build.gradle as "Project root directory" and accept all other defaults
• Right click and run uon.sam.HelloWorld as a Java Application

• run gradlew run and you'll see java build and a "Hello World"

• Java builds because; plugins { ... id 'java' ... }

• uon.sam.HelloWorld runs on run because of; ``` plugins { ... id 'application' }

   	mainClassName = 'uon.sam.HelloWorld'
   ```
  

• run gradlew assemble and build/libs/gradle-sonar-example.jar will exist with all of your stuff in it.

• download, unzip and launch Sonar

  • you'll want bin/ Win64 (or whatever) and it'll take a moment to start
  • when it's ready http://localhost:9000 should be a working page with an empty dashboard
    • you'll know it when you see it
    • there will be an example tutorial thing. follow it.

• you'll be told to run something like gradlew sonarqube -Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 -Dsonar.login=12c9d1b865703e66e112315a2e3b62dcc9a26d6e

• when it's done, look at the project

  • SonarQube runs because; plugins { ... id "org.sonarqube" version "2.6.2" ... }
  • it should have a 1-hour technical debt, 4 bad code smells and 6 lines of code
