Eclipse Luna vs SonarLint comparison

Eclipse Luna includes official support for Java 8 in the Java development tools, Plug-in Development Tools, Object Teams, Eclipse Communication Framework, Maven integration, Xtext, Xtend, Web Tools Platform, and Memory Analyzer. The Eclipse workbench provides a new dark theme, split editors, line numbers on by default, reduced whitespace in default presentation, ability to hide the "quick access" bar and fitting syntax highlighter setting for the editor of several programming languages. Paho provides open source implementations of open and standard messaging protocols that support current and emerging requirements of M2M integration with Web and Enterprise middleware and applications. EcoreTools, the graphical modeler for Ecore, has been completely re-implemented based on Sirius and provides a nicer graphical design, support for documenting your model, specifying domain constraints and modeling Generic Types. It provides a standalone C/C++ debugger application that is added to the CDT to help debug an application via the command line and have an Eclipse UI debugger pop up.

SonarLint, a core component of the Sonar solution, is a free and open-source IDE plugin, that is a developer's first line of defense to find and fix coding issues in real time. SonarLint resolves issues in code and provides rich contextual guidance to help developers improve their skills while enhancing their productivity.

Supporting over 25 languages and the most popular IDEs, SonarLint leverages over 5,000 language-specific Clean Code rules to instantly highlight common coding issues that may lead to, bugs, and vulnerabilities.
