Adding Code Smells rules to your active profile

In order to have the plugin detect the various Smells types, and have Smell annotations appear as violations which contribute to the project's technical debt, you need to add to your Java quality profile all rules part of the Smells rules repository.

Note 1: While I recommend activating all rules part of the Smell repository, you don't have to do it. If the rules are not activated, the plugin will still report Smell related technical debt in its own widget (only with SonarQube < 6.2), but Smell annotations will not be counted as issues, and as such they will not contribute to the project's technical debt, nor impact the various ratings. Do this if you don't want to mix automated debt discovery with "manual" debt declaration.

Note 2: If you decide to activate Smell rules in your profile, make sure to activate all of them, otherwise, only those that have been activated will appear as issues.

Adding the Code Smells widget to your dashboard

When using SonarQube < 6.2, you can add the Code Smells widget to your project or view dashboard.
