Question

Currently SonarLint for Eclipse uses https://update.sonarlint.org/ as SonarQube instance.

Is there a way to configure a custom SonarQube url (with user authenticatio

Answer 1

Too quick question, same here about IntelliJ, but with Eclipse answer.

This feature will be supported in v2.0 (SLE-26).

However, there is a workaround ...

Disclaimer : This workaround is not supported by SonarSource, this is not a sustainable solution and MUST not deployed on a production environment. This is just a "technical stuff for fun", until feature supported officially by the plugin.

Prerequisite :

• SonarQube >= 5.2 is required (tested with RC3)
• Use SonarLint < v1.3 (strictly, see SLE-24)
• SonarQube instance must not be secured (sonar.forceAuthentication=false)

The SonarLint uses Eclipse preferences for URL loading (See SonarRunnerFacade), so could be overrided with pluginCustomization.

In the eclipse.ini file (beside eclipse.exe), add in first :

-pluginCustomization
myPrefs.ini
-startup
...

With in myPrefs.ini file (beside eclipse.exe/eclipse.ini) :

# SonaQube - SonarLint URL override
org.sonarlint.eclipse.core/server_url=http\://localhost:9000
