Where is the Sonarlint Ruleset file in eclipse?

Question

i would like to know where eclipse keeps the ruleset for Sonarlint, so i can copy it to other Eclipses without connecting to a Sonar-Server.

As you download Sonarlint, it comes with a standard ruleset. When you connect it to a Sonar-Server it downloads the ruleset defined on the server. So where will be this ruleset stored?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The default ruleset used in standalone mode seems to be defined in classes in the Eclipse Sonarlint plugin jar (e.g. in org.sonarlint.eclipse.core_2.2.1.201608261350-RELEASE.jar) . This means that it's currently not possible to change this ruleset (unless you want to try and reverse engineer it). Your only option is to connect each machine to a SonarQube server.

It seems there are plans to add more customization support in the future (see also this answer).
