Ok Dave, I better understand your use case.

Unhappily, there is currently no way to configure Sonar in order to apply a set of rules on a given part of the source code and another set of rules on another part.

There are only two features :
- Excluding totally some sources from quality analysis
- Annotating the source code (comment or java annotations for findbugs) to deactivate a rule on a given line of code

But in your case, you can eventually use the sonar "branch" parameter to execute and report two different quality analysis on the same project :

- One on your new code : excluding your former code and using an extended quality profile (-Dbranch=new)
- One on your former code : excluding the new one and using a limited quality profile (-Dbranch=former)

Regards,
Freddy

ok, i try it :-)

My english is not the best, so please be lenient toward me...

I have some checkstyle rules defined in an XML-ruleFile.
My project has some legacy-code (some special packages) not touched in
the actual developing-phase. The rules in the rulefile should not be
checked for this legacy code. (this can be made by excluding source
code for a project, i know... )
BUT: Some very important rules, should be checked also in the legacy code!

So i need a filter (like checkstyle supression filters) where I can
say to each rule, which packages should be excluded from checking...

This is my use-case.. Is there a way to configure it with sonar? (or
the more easy way, to give a suppresion file for checkstyle to sonar?)
I only use this use-case actually for checkstyle, but i hope i can
adapt it to pmd, too... but there are some other problems to solve
first :-)

thanks...
