SonarQube 10.4 will come with a feature to only download Sonar analyzers and 3rd-party plugins when they are really required by the Scanner. To make this feature work, each analyzer or 3rd-party plugin should declare the list of languages on which they expect to raise issues through a new MANIFEST property called Plugin-RequiredForLanguages.
Hello,
I'm Alex, Product Manager at Sonar.
SonarQube 10.4 will come with a feature to only download Sonar analyzers and 3rd-party plugins when they are really required by the Scanner. To make this feature work, each analyzer or 3rd-party plugin should declare the list of languages on which they expect to raise issues through a new MANIFEST property called Plugin-RequiredForLanguages.
