Custom rule, circumvent sonar.exclusions?

[anon67236913]

Hi,

let’s say i want to write a custom java rule that is so important, that excluded sources should also
be scanned, because sonar.exclusions can also be used as a scanner property to hide code.

One could use a second analysis with a custom quality profile only containing those custom rules and overwrite sonar.exclusions, but that would always require a second analysis.

Is there another way via api when creating a custom java rule ?

Hi @anon67236913,

The exclusions are defined for the full scope of the scan and can’t be overridden by a rule.
