We mentioned it already in a previous post : Codehaus aka the Haus is probably the best forge available for business friendly open source projects; they have a very pragmatic approach to software development which leads them to choose and provide the best collaborative tools available on the market.

Since a couple of weeks, to make the service even better, the Haus has decided to offer Sonar as a service. This was announced on the Haus blog (inaugurated at that occasion !). The principle is very simple : projects must simply use Bambo hosted at Codehaus and create a job that runs mvn sonar:sonar.

After Nemo, the public instance of Sonar that can be used as a SaaS by open source projects, this is an important step toward mass adoption of code quality management tools.
