+# SonarJava
+
 SonarJava inspects Java code for bugs, vulnerabilities, and maintainability issues, then explains why each finding matters and how to fix it. Information about the analysis of Java features is available [here](https://redirect.sonarsource.com/plugins/java.html).
 
 This repository contains the analyzer source used by SonarQube Server, SonarQube Cloud, and SonarQube for IDE. SonarJava applies the same analysis to developer-written and AI-generated code, giving teams a consistent way to verify changes before they reach production.
 
+Learn more about Java analysis on the [Sonar website](https://www.sonarsource.com/knowledge/languages/java/).
