What kinds of projects can be analysed ?

Sonar analyses Java projects, even if they are not built with Maven (more details). Some plugins support other languages like PHP or PL/SQL.

Can I get a static report in Maven site ?

No, Sonar is a standalone web application. This infrastructure is more flexible and powerful but needs an application server and a database.

This may be addressed by Maven reports like dashboard or xradar.
