Make SonarLint IntelliJ Plugin "dynamic"

  • Operating system: macOS 12.4
  • SonarLint plugin version: 7.2.1.58118
  • Programming language you’re coding in: Python
  • Is connected mode used: No

IntelliJ Platform allows creating “dynamic” plugins - ones not requiring IDE restart during installation/uninstallation/update/etc. It is pretty convenient for the end user.

SonarLint plugin doesn’t support this feature at the moment.

Hello Pavel,

SonarLint plugin doesn’t support this feature at the moment.

Correct. We made a first step in this direction, I would say 2 years ago. We still have some work to do, mostly around properly handling unloading (see this ticket).

As you can see the ticket is closed for now, as it is not part of our short-term roadmap. We believe we can bring more interesting features to our users at the moment. We might revisit our plan later though.

Thanks for giving us feedback, we appreciate :slight_smile:
