Eclipse Sonar plugin version 11.13 is really really SLOW

SonarQube for IDE Eclipse
1
  • Operating system: Windows
  • IDE name and version Eclipse 2025-6
  • SonarQube for Eclipse plugin version: 11.13
  • Programming language you’re coding in: java
  • Is connected mode used: No

Since upgrading to plugin version 11.13 the it takes SONAR a long time to process the project. There seems to be a long delay between the output of the last ‘file’ line in the console and the ‘Index file’ line. Probably at least 10 minutes. See following capture from the ‘Console’

Hey @dandoy

Just to be sure the issue is coming from 11.13, can your revert to 11.12 and see if the performance issue is no more? This will help a lot in our investigation.

I don’t know what 8.12 and 8.13 are but tried on 11.12 and much faster (over 20 minutes compared to 10 minutes). Also had a colleague try on 11.12 prior to upgrading to 11.13 and then he upgraded to 11.13 and did the sonar analyze again and it is significantly slower, over 2 times as slow. I am sure you can duplicate it yourself also.

Sorry, I had the wrong versions in my head :person_facepalming:. I’ve called in reinforcements!

What is the status?

Sometimes, it may take some time to investigate these issues, particularly during the summer months. It’s good to hear that version 11.12 does not experience this performance issue in your environment. We will review this soon!

Hi @dandoy, sorry for the late reply - we haven’t forgotten about your report and have been actively investigating the issue you described.

So far, we haven’t been able to detect a significant performance difference between versions 11.12 and 11.13 on our side.
To help us dig deeper, could you please provide:

  • Full verbose logs from both 11.12 and 11.13 so we can compare them.

  • Whether the slowdown occurs only during the first project analysis after opening Eclipse, or also on subsequent analyses.

  • If possible, a minimal project reproducer showing the issue; if that’s not feasible, a description of your project’s structure.

  • Confirmation that you are not using connected mode.

If you have any other details that might be relevant, please include those as well.

In the meantime, we’ll continue our investigation on our end.
Thanks for your patience!

@nicolas.quinquenel How can I send you the log output? Don’t want to post here.

The annoying delay of almost 12 minutes comes with no messages being logged between the following 2 log messages.

Using native git blame

Start analysis

Small section of the log:

file:/C:/classtip/class/src/classmcs/lib/service/device/CommandStorageDeviceDestinationConfigModify.java (UTF-8)

Looking for git command in the PATH using where.exe (Windows)

Found git.exe at Optional[C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe]

Using native git blame

First and subsequent analysis are the same

NOT in connected mode

Thanks for the information you shared.

You can share the logs with me in one of two ways:

  • Send them via private message
  • I can set up a secure Google Drive upload link that’s only accessible to Sonar team members

Let me know which option works better for you.

As I stated between these 2 log messages

My company may block it, but give instructions for both ways and I can try. I did trying to reply to the e-mail using ‘Sonar Community incoming+1f0383d1512a21b4d36a88b55d484d25@sonarcommunity.discoursemail.com‘, but my company blocked the attachment, probably because of the domain ‘‘

19

To give an update @dandoy, I did not yet find the root cause of this issue. Could you also try on the latest 11.14 version that we released, and see if you still notice the slowness?

Could you also tell us the version of Git you are using?

Thanks!

11.14 and 11.15 has same issue.

Eclipse Egit is 7.3.0

21

Just FYI: SonarQube for IDE does not rely on EGit, the Plug-in Comes with JGit bundled.

22

I was asked, by Sonar employee, to supply the version, so I assume they needed it.

Hi @dandoy,

Nico asked about the version of Git itself that is installed on your machine, not EGit, the Eclipse plug-in, which I tried to point out :wink:

Phrased it a bit dull, I notice now.

Cheers :cup_with_straw:
