How do you customize SonarLint rules in IntelliJ IDEA?

As it is now possible with the current release of SonarLint (I’m using version 3.0.0.2041), people might be interested in the solution.

• File -> Settings -> Other Settings -> SonarLint General Settings
• Click on the green + in “SonarQube servers” :
  • Enter a name (ex : SonarQube / localhost)
  • Select SonarQube and enter URL like http://localhost:9000
  • Authentication : select your user token or your login/pwd
  • Click on Finish
  • Click on “Update binding” to synchronize with the SonarQube server
• Go to SonarLint Project Settings and bind your project to the SonarQube project

Thus, when you open your files, SonarLint will automatically retrieve the SonarQube server’s issues.
