Klocwork icons and Project Explorer pop-up menu

After you install the Klocwork Solo plug-in and start Eclipse, you'll see the Klocwork icon and the Add declaration to the knowledge base icon on the toolbar.

If you have a project in the Project Explorer view, you can right-click it and see the Klocwork menu options:

Run Klocwork for Java triggers a Klocwork Solo analysis. For a subsequent run, Klocwork uses Incremental analysis.

Clean... is not often used in your Klocwork Solo workflow, but by using it you can:

• Override incremental analysis with the (default) Clear cached Klocwork analysis data option
• Permanently Clear fixed and not-in-scope issues from your project
• Clear all issues

Klocwork perspective

You can use the Klocwork perspective or...not. By default, if you are not already in the Klocwork perspective, you will see a prompt asking you if you wish to open it.

The Klocwork perspective contains the Klocwork Issues view, Klocwork Details and the Klocwork Log Console.

To change the setting to always or never display the Klocwork perspective or to restore the Prompt setting:

1. Go to Window > Preferences > Klocwork > Settings.
2. Click Always open or Never Open or Prompt.

Klocwork Issues view

The Klocwork Issues view is part of the Klocwork perspective. By default, it is at the bottom of your window.

The Klocwork Issues view displays issues detected during analysis. This view is where you can sort your findings, filter the list of issues, prioritize your actions using statuses, access issue help and launch the investigative tool--traceback.

• Right-click one or more issues to see how you can manage issues:

  

• Double-click an issue to view it in source code or to use traceback in the Klocwork Details view to navigate through the source code. For more information about viewing source code and using traceback, see Step 4: Investigate by viewing source code and using traceback in the Getting Started tutorial.

Klocwork tools at the far right of the Klocwork Issues view are:

For more information about filtering and grouping, see Step 3: Group issues and view issue help in the Getting Started tutorial and Filtering.

Klocwork Details

To access the traceback feature in Klocwork Details, double-click an issue in the Klocwork Issues view. Klocwork Details is part of the Klocwork perspective.

The source code statement containing the issue is highlighted in the editor view, and traceback for the issue is displayed in the Klocwork Details view.

Traceback allows you to 'step' through the code paths that generated the issue.

For more information, see: Step 4: Investigate by viewing source code and using traceback in the Getting Started tutorial.

Klocwork Log Console

The Klocwork Log Console is displayed as a view in the Klocwork perspective. By default, it is at the bottom of your Eclipse window.

The Klocwork Log Console displays processing errors during the Klocwork analysis. If you notice any problems analyzing code, check the build log for errors. In the event of analysis problems, the Log Console provides the path to the build log: <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/projects/<projectname>/com.klocwork.inforceeclipse/.kwlp/workingcache/tables/build.log

Click in this view to copy the content of the log console to a clipboard, from which you can later paste it into a file.

Click to clear the content of the Klocwork Log Console.

Workspace settings and project-specific settings

You can configure Klocwork for your workspace or for a specific project. Workspace and project-specific configuration settings are contained in different locations.

Klocwork Default Configuration

The Default Configuration dialog for the workspace (Window > Preferences > Klocwork > Default Configuration) has two tabs:

• Issues is where you enable or disable issues for the analysis.
• Configuration Files is where you tune your analysis by importing, exporting or deleting a single User profile and/or one or more Java knowledge base files for your workspace.

Klocwork License page

Use Window > Preferences > Klocwork > License to:

• Activate the Klocwork license online or offline,
• Change the host machine for your Klocwork license

This page is for users who have purchased Klocwork Solo for Java. Trial licenses are activated automatically.
