    Can I trouble you for some more details? Where are you getting sonar lint from, what version are you trying to install? are there any more error details, i.e. what exactly is STS/Eclipse complaining about? what method are you using to install (offline, p2 url, marketplace, other?). Thanks for the extra details. – Jonah Graham Jan 19 '16 at 13:05
  • Sonar lint version is 1.2.0, Trying to drang and drop the plugin from [here](https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/sonarlint) into my STS and it says not compatible with this version of eclipse. STS Version - 3.7.2.RELEASE. Hope you got the details – Mohankumar Rathinam Jan 19 '16 at 15:05

Not sure what the problem exactly is, but I worked around this by starting up STS, select "Install New Software" and pasted the Solarlint update site URL into that dialog: http://eclipse.sonarlint.org/

That allowed me to install the plugin into STS 3.7.2 without any issues. Hope this helps!!!

    This does not seem to work anymore. http://eclipse.sonarlint.org/ does not look like an update site. Downloading the package and installing manually from the archive worked for me on STS 3.8.1. – wwerner Aug 08 '16 at 08:39
  • @wwerner , after downloading may i know where to copy these sonarlint files – Bravo Jan 18 '17 at 06:43
