Java API to develop plugins for SonarQube, SonarCloud and SonarLint. This component was extracted out of SonarQube, and is released independently since v9.5.
The API is built with JDK 11.
See documentation here about how to use the sonar-plugin-api to develop plugins.
The API was relocated when it was extracted out of SonarQube. Its new coordinates are:
org.sonarsource.api.plugin:sonar-plugin-api:<version>
You can find it in maven central.
Also note that the version no longer follows SonarQube's versions. The sonar-plugin-api is now released separately.
See the releases for changelogs.
See the deprecation policy.
Breaking changes to the API happen when the major version changes. As a result, plugins should be compatible with future versions of the API within the same major version. New APIs can be introduced in any release of the API, and plugins may want to do a runtime version check to see if they can use newly added APIs, depending on what platforms they intend to run.
The following tables indicate which API versions plugins can find at runtime:

| 10.4.0.87286 | 10.6.0.2114 |
