When switching to the local mode, information displayed is coming from the latest local analysis.
Thus, you can see the violations introduced in the code that you just added or changed.
Switch from One Mode to Another
To switch from one mode to another, right-click on the project, then select Sonar > Mode > Remote or Local:

At any time, to run another local analysis, right-click on the project, then select Sonar > Run Local Analysis:
Local Analysis Parameters
Parameters to configure local analysis can be set in various places. Here is the hierarchy of parameters:
- Parameters defined in the Sonar Web UI
- Parameters set in the pom.xml file (for Maven projects only, with the m2e connector installed) will override parameters defined in the UI
- Parameters defined in Eclipse will override parameters defined in the pom file (go to Window > Preferences > Sonar > Local analysis properties)
- Parameters defined at project level in Eclipse will override parameters defined at Eclipse level (right click on the project and go to Properties > Sonar > Local analysis properties)

Some plugins (useless for a local analysis) can be skipped during the local analyses while performing a local analysis thanks to the 'sonar.dryRun.excludePlugins' property (Settings > Configuration > General Settings > General). The default value is 'devcockpit,pdfreport,report,scmactivity,views'. For example, to skip the Build Stability plugin (due to https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARIDE-346), set the property to 'devcockpit,pdfreport,report,scmactivity,views,buildstability'. |
Last Analysis Date
There are two ways to know when the last analysis was run a project:
- Right-click on the project in the Project Explorer, and then Properties > Sonar
- This date can be displayed on the navigation views, like the Project explorer or the Navigator. This option is not active by default. To activate it, go to Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Label Decorations and check Sonar Analysis Date Decorator:
Violations View (displays local or remote information depending on the selected mode)
...
Note that Problems and Markers views also displays display Sonar violations.
Web View (displays remote information only)
