This plugin is used to exclude some violations issues in a fine-grained way. It allows to define some exclusion patterns to switch off violationsissues:

• By rule
• By file name/path
• By line or range of lines
• By file content

Installation

1. Install the Switch Off Violations plugin through the Update Center or download it into the SONAR SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
2. Restart the Sonar SonarQube server

Configuration

Exclusion patterns can be specified at both global and project levels. Go to Settings > Configuration > General Settings > Switch Off Violations (or at project level: Configuration > Settings > Switch Off Violations) and add exclusion patterns to the following properties:

• File exclusion patterns (sonar.switchoffviolations.allfile) to switch off all the violations issues on files that contains a block of code that matches a given regular expression.
  
  • Example: switch off all the violations issues on files containing @javax\.annotation\.Generated
    
• Bloc exclusion patterns (sonar.switchoffviolations.block) to switch off violations issues on specific blocks of code. Note: if the first regular expression is found but not the second one, then the plugin considers that the end of the code block is the end of the file.
