\"Install<\/a>In this series of posts on the installation and configuration of SonarQube, we have seen how to realise a first analysis of code with the SonarQube Runner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today we will<\/span> see<\/span> how to install and<\/span> configure<\/span> Jenkins<\/span> that we will use (later) to manage all<\/span> our analysis.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This<\/span> is also an opportunity<\/span> to detail<\/span> the resolution of some<\/span> problems specific to<\/span> our environment,<\/span> and incidentally<\/span> to see<\/span> how to detect<\/span> these problems with the<\/span> Tomcat<\/span> server<\/span>, which we<\/span> have installed previously<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Installing Jenkins<\/h2>\n

\"Download<\/a>As for SonarQube, we chose to install Jenkins as a .war file, that we download from the Jenkins home page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll keep this file ‘jenkins.war’ in a folder dedicated to managing different versions of SonarQube, its plugins, and Jenkins, before to copy it in Tomcat’s directory\u00a0‘C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0\\webapps’.<\/p>\n

Tomcat will then deploy this .war file.in a Web application which we can then access from our browser with the following URL\u00a0http:\/\/localhost:8888\/jenkins\/<\/strong>. Remember: ‘8888’ is the port I did choose during Tomcat’s nstallation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tomcat’s error log<\/h2>\n

My browser is running a few minutes … then eventually displays the following error: ‘PermGen space’.<\/p>\n

\"Jenkins<\/a><\/p>\n

This will allow us to see how to identify a problem with Tomcat. The logs files are found into the directory \u2018..\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0\\logs\u2019. There are different log files, mais when you encounter an error, you should see a file \u2018tomcat7-stderr.xx.log\u2019 (with xx the date).<\/p>\n

Open this file you will see the cause of the error with a message \u2018java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space\u2019.<\/p>\n

Without details, the ‘PermGen space’ is the memory space reserved for the storage of Java classes and its related information. We need to upgrade our Tomcat configuration, as follows:<\/p>\n
