Group languages related settings in a single "Languages" tab

guwirth · December 23, 2020, 7:35am

Hi,

starting with 8.x languages are grouped in the UI in a single “Languages” tab (https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-8884). I developed an own plugin but my language is still in the left column? Is there a special API / flag I have to use?

Regards,
Günter

Hi @guwirth

This behavior is hardcoded to a list including SonarSource analyzers only:

Hello, @Julien_HENRY!

Any plans to make it configurable via plugin properties api?

Nothing I’m aware of.

Hi @Julien_HENRY,

Thanks for your answer.

I have no problem with it, but find it strange that “external” plugins appear in the main menu and your own plugins are hidden behind “Languages”.

Greetings
