How to bind multiple projects to SonarQube efficiently

SonarLint Eclipse
,
1

I am running a local sonarcube that successfully checks our 110 Projects for issues.
I have also setup the SonarLint for Eclipse plugin Version 4.1.0.2019013110 in Eclipse Version: 2018-09 (4.9.0)

To bind a project to the SonarQube I can now open the context-menu on any project, choose SonarLint -> Bind to SonarQube or SonarCloud and choose my server connection. The following dialog will even present me with a good SonarQube project to bind my eclipse project to.

But doing this 110 times is very tedious. I remember that in earlier versions there was a “wizard” kind of a dialog where you could hit an “auto-bind” button and all eclipse projects would be mapped to their SonarQube twins, which was very nice an efficient.
Has this feature been removed from SonarLint?

Hi,

You can select multiple projects to bind, or a working set, as long as all Eclipse projects should bind to the same SonarQube project (usually in multi-module projects).

But if the Eclipse projects are actually different SQ projects, then currently you have no choice than binding them one by one.

Our eclipse projects should each bind to their respective SQ project. Earlier versions of SonarLint did support auto-binding them individually. This is a real showstopper for us.

I see the point. I have created a ticket:
https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLE-305

But we are currently busy to prepare SQ LTS, so I don’t think you should expect any progress before the second half of the year.

Hi,

I second Robert Lichtenberger request.
It’s not easy to bind many projects now. Hope to see an improvement in the future versions !
