Does Sonar support multiple language in same project?

Question

I am setting up Sonar for one of my projects which is a mix of Groovy and Java. I am able to configure the project separately for either of these languages but not together. Is there any way to do this? I tried this

sonar.language = java,grvy

but didnt work

Answer 1

UPDATE April 14th, 2014:

Starting with SonarQube 4.2, multi-language projects are supported.

This automatically happens when sonar.language is not set.

See my sample project here: https://github.com/bellingard/multi-language-project

Answer 2

If you are using Sonar version 3.4. Then I have written a new maven plugin to help you with multiple language code analysis.

It is still beta

If you have any issues with this tool then do let me know on that project website.

Answer 3

Until https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-926 is implemented you can use the combination of sonar.branch and sonar.language properties to analyze separately the project languages and have two different projects in your dashboard.
