Sonar ecosystem

  • Sonar OpenSocial Gadgets. It has been developed for GateIn, but it should work in any standard gadget container (JIRA4, Shindig)
  • SecureCI is an open-source continuous integration solution. It is packaged as a virtual machine that can be run with the VMware Player that way you can be up and running in minutes without the hassle and time commitment of putting it all together yourself. It integrates many tools like Sonar, Maven, Nexus, Hudson and Subversion.
