Scanning projects locally

The Fortify Plugin for Eclipse automatically includes all source files from dependent projects in scans. Although you can scan individual packages and files (see Scanning Individual Files and Packages), the results are more accurate if you scan an entire project at once.

To scan projects that have special translation or build conditions or have files you want to exclude from the project, use the advanced analysis (see Running an Advanced ).

To scan a project:

  1. Open the project in the Java perspective.
  2. In the Package Explorer or Project Explorer view, right-click the project, and then select Analyze Project.

After the scan finishes, the results are loaded into and displayed in the Fortify Audit perspective.
