Hosting

1. Create an account at Codehaus
2. Subscribe to dev@sonar.codehaus.org
3. Send e-mail to dev@sonar.codehaus.org and tell us your Codehaus ID, so that we can give you a commit access to github. You can request access rights to Nemo too.

Prerequisites

• The plugin must support Java 5 (Java 6 since March 2013). The Continuous Integration job uses Oracle JDK 16.5.
• The plugin is built with Maven 2.2.* x or 3.*x.

Principles

When you utilize the forge, we request that you respect the following principles :

...

• The directory name is the plugin name.
• The groupId is 'org.codehaus.sonar-plugins' and artifactId is 'sonar-<name>-plugin'. For example the plugin "foo" is stored in the directory "foo" and its artifact id is "sonar-foo-plugin"

• Set the following properties :

  Code Block
  title pom.xml lang xml
  <project> <parent> <groupId>org.codehaus.sonar-plugins</groupId> <artifactId>parent</artifactId> <!-- The latest version can be found by looking at the tags starting with "parent-" in http://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/tags/ -->   <version>REPLACE_BY_LATEST_VERSION</version> <relativePath>../parent</relativePath> </parent> <artifactId>sonar-foo-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>sonar-plugin</packaging> <name>Plugin name</name> <description>Plugin description</description> <url>http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/MY+PLUGIN</url> <inceptionYear>2011<<inceptionYear>2013</inceptionYear> <organization> <name>My Organization</name> <url>http://www.my-organization.com</url> </organization> <issueManagement> <system>JIRA</system> <url>http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARPLUGINS/component/MY-COMPONENT-ID</url> </issueManagement> <scm> <connection>scm:svn:http://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/trunk/MY-PLUGIN</connection> <developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/trunk/MY-PLUGIN</developerConnection> <url>http://svn.sonar-plugins.codehaus.org</url> </scm> ... </project>
