I have a SonarQube Plugin which works on SonarQube version 8.4.2.36762 and higher. As we want to launch this plugin commercially, we would like to know what does SonarQube suggest in order to obfuscate the contents of the Jar to prevent it from decompilation use java decompilers.
We are trying to obfuscate the jar but that ends up breaking the SonarQube from startup. Can you please help guide on this.
I am getting this Error 2022.04.19 20:51:57 ERROR web[o.s.s.p.PlatformImpl] Web server startup failed: File is not a plugin. Please delete it and restart:
Asking what is the best obfuscation tool for your needs is more a question for StackOverflow
Likely the plugin manifest (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) has been modified by your obfuscator. You have to be sure the attributes added by the Sonar Maven Packaging plugin have not been removed.
FYI the error is coming from here.
Thank you for your response. I am using Proguard to obfuscate my jar. After tweaking around it a bit, I am now encountering the below error. Can you please let me know what is the issue now in the obfuscated jar as the original jar without obfuscation works perfectly fine.
