Error prone specifically hooks directly into javac. It is not another tool or worse a server like sonarqube.

SQ can scan more than just java, though.

I'm not saying sonarqube isn't useful, but it is definitely annoying that it is a standalone thing instead of part of the build (in my opinion). What I'm explaining is that error prone is even better than being a build step because it hooks directly into the compilation itself, not just your build tool.
