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

Is there a way to configure a custom SonarQube url (with user authentication) for using your own default language profile ?

Could be very useful when you want more rules or you have configured some exclusions (mainly for external JavaScript libraries like JQuery, ...)

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

  • Alix, I was about to edit your answer but I feel it would be best if you would do it on your own => SonarSource won't support people who do this workaround because this can have multiple impacts now and in the future. Can you please add this notice to your answer? Thanks – Fabrice - SonarSource Team Nov 06 '15 at 10:19
  • @Fabrice-SonarSourceTeam : Done. Sorry. I can delete it or update the disclaimer if not enough precise. – Alix Lourme Nov 06 '15 at 13:38
  • Has somebody tried if this workaround is still working for SonarLint 1.3? I unfortunately can't try it for myself at the moment. – Alex Feb 19 '16 at 09:16

    @Alex : Workaround tested with SonarLint 1.3 : **doesn't work**. Mainly because [SLE-24 : Stop depending on update.sonarlint.org](https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLE-24). Only solution : watch & vote for [SLE-26](https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLE-26). – Alix Lourme Feb 21 '16 at 18:55
  • That's sad :( It's going to be useless if quality profiles differ too much. Anyway thank you for testing! – Alex Feb 22 '16 at 06:35
