Clirr is not compatible with SonarQube 6.0

[amedee]

Clirr 1.3 installed in SonarQube 6.0.

Running an analysis gives this error:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.sonar.plugins.java.api.JavaResourceLocator.findResourceByClassName(Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/sonar/api/resources/Resource;

This is an incompatibility with the Java plugin. No (direct) relation with SonarQube 6.0.

1. Does that make this issue a duplicate of Fix compatibility with recent versions of Java plugin #3 ?
2. The code base of the Clirr plugin isn't too big, how easy/hard would it be if I would attempt to solve it myself and submit a pull request? No idea where to start, I know Java but I never did any "real" Java development.

Indeed, that's a duplicate so let's close this issue and continue discussion on #3. This plugin is no more maintained by SonarSource so you can provide a fix. I don't know how hard it is.
