What code analysis plugins work with Bamboo 3.2?

Question

It seems that many of the static analysis plugins I would expect to be availble do not work with Bamboo 3.2. It's dissapointing that I can't run Checkstyle, Findbugs, PMD & Cobertura reports, at least according to the compatibility matrix.

What do other users use?

Bedwyr, we have updated the PMD and Checkstyle plugins so that they work with Bamboo 3.3. You can find them on the Plugin Exchange. Cobertura and Findbugs are currently being updated.

If I can't run Findbugs, PMD & Cobertura on Bamboo then I might as well go back to Jenkins.

The fact that they are not on the compatibility matrix does not mean they do not work. These plugins are not supported by Atlassian and it's up to the plugin owners to update the matrix.

We try not to break APIs between Bamboo releases so it's best to try them out and see if they work.

If they do not work, try filing a bug against them - sometimes it's quite trivial to make a plugin work with the newest Bamboo version and there will be people willing to do it.

Finally, if they do work, file a bug so that the compatibility matrix is updated ;-)
