Hotdeploying jars with Sonar

[Christopher Moraes]

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on a plugin for sonar and every time I want to test the plugin, I deploy and restart the Sonar server.

This is not very convenient as it take a couple of minutes to start the server.   Is there a way to hot deploy plugins / jars to a running Sonar server?  

Regards,

Chris

Hi Christopher,

No there is not at the moment. There might be a slight optimization you will find on this page, but that's about it for now.

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

That would be a nice feature. But it would already help if the server startup time could be reduced. I am wondering why the startup takes so long...

Hi Alexander,

We know that we need to greatly improve this startup time. All rules repositories are (re)created when starting Sonar and too many sql requests are generated. With Sonar 1.12, this startup time should be reduced by 2 and this is a good beginning.

Freddy

Hi Freddy,

I have a question about this point you mention 

 All rules repositories are (re)created when starting Sonar and too many sql requests are generated. 

I had deployed a jar with 10 new rules for PMD in the extensions/rules/pmd folder.  Later a few rules were dropped and the jar contained only 6 rules (jar and xml were updated).  However I could still see all the 10 rules in the sonar quality profile after the server is restarted.  Even when I remove the jar from the extensions folder, the rules still appear in the quality profile.  

If the repositories are supposed to be recreated, is this a bug?

Regards,

Chris
