SonarQube - Custom rule to prevent call to some static methods

Question

I use SonarQube for a Java project.

I want to have a violation when a given static method from a library is used.

Is there a way to do that in the UI, or shall I resort to custom java code as described in https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-custom-rules-examples/ ?

Answer 1

You can use squid:S2253, which is a template rule, to set up a rule that raises an issue when your method is called.
