C++ Community Plugin: Plugin key is missing from manifest

SonarQube Server / Community Build

I tried to install the C++ Community Plugin, but SonarQube will not start with it.

SonarQube: 9.2.4.50792.

The C++ Community Plugin has a beta release with support for SonarQube 9.x. This is the one I downloaded and placed in sonarqube INSTALL_DIR/extensions/plugins.

I though perhaps this was a problem with using a beta of the C++ Community Plugin.

So I installed SonarQube 8.9.6.50800, and used the latest stable C++ Community Plugin release. I get same problem during startup of SonarQube.
Tried both of these two releases, both getting problem starting SonarQube.

Hi @DJViking ,

we don’t support the community C++ plugin sonar-cxx , please refer to their support channel for help.

The SonarSource plugin for C/C++ is available on SonarQube, starting with Developer Edition, and also available on https://sonarcloud.io/, for free for public projects.

I though this was a SonarQube Community forum. So we cannot get help from the community here for community plugins to SonarQube?

Hi @DJViking ,

this is SonarSource community, community plugins are not supported by SonarSource, they have their own support channel, please refer to them for help.
