Install SonarQube Plugin

Introduction

SonarQube can extends its behaviour by adding plugins. Some on them can be installed by using the SonarQube Marketplace, others can be installed by copying the .jar into the SonarQube plugins folder.

Overview

This template will help you to install SonarQube plugins by copying the .jar into the SonarQube plugins folder. As you do not have access to the Production Line volumes, it will help you when you want to install a plugin that is not installed in the SonarQube Marketplace.

It will:

• Download the .jar file from a provided URL.

• Copy the .jar file to the plugins folder.

• Restart the SonarQube server in order to enable the plugin.
