Is this project still being maintained?

[WillNilges]

I'm out here looking for a way to generate SonarQube reports and I stumbled across this repo. I see that it's.... pretty old. And all the links are dead.

Is anyone maintaining this anymore?

[ThiamSoon]

I'm looking for report generation as well. Hopefully someone response to this. or any other recommendations.

I'm a Quality Engineer at iText Software. This plugin has a dependency on iText version 2.1.4, which was released on 2008-11-11. That's a really, really old version, which is no longer supported and maintained, and of which we know that it contains bugs, security risks, and even possible copyright and/or license infringements. All of which have been resolved in later versions of iText.

I can, in good faith, really not recommend anyone to use such an old version of iText. It would be ironic to use SonarQube for good code quality, but then open the back door again with ancient software.

There is currently no incentive to pick up maintenance of this plugin.

I have asked our legal people what the options are to revive this plugin. Because licenses. I hope to get back with an answer soon.

It should be possible to make a fork of the project, however mind that the paid version of SonarQube is providing the same feature. We may have a conflict with SonarSource.

I made a working version of the plugin by gathering different attempts found on Github and built a working version here : https://github.com/sleroy/sonar-pdf-report

Compatible JDK 8 / SonarQube 8.0 . Tested on Linux. Not bug free tough.

I see that you have a dependency on iText version 5.5.12. I work for the company iText Software. This is me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amedee/ Can I send you a direct email on the email address in the pom.xml? Because there's something important that I would like to help you with.

Kind regards,

@sleroy Can I have the jar file for this plugin you created recently ? When I created a jar and ran in docker, am getting this error

Can you please help me on this?

The license issue? You can use below mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dlicense.skip=true

PDF report generation seems to be failing, any idea?. I installed sonar-pef-report.jar file into plugins (generated using jdk8).

I was running the below sonar-scanner command in my project directory.

sonar-scanner \ -Dsonar.projectKey=admin-portal \ -Dsonar.sources=. \ -Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 \ -Dsonar.token=my-sonar-token

Received the below error
