SonarQube is a great static code analysis tool but I notice that there is only a few rules of the "Vulnerabilities" type ("Vulnerabilities" equals "Security", am I right?). I plan to extend some custom plugins including a lot of vulnerabilities rules (maybe hundreds of rules for C/C++, Java, and other languages that SonarQube supports). Is that a practicable way to make SonarQube a "Checkmarx like" tool? Or is SonarQube suitable for static security testing? (I'm n
