自定义sonarqube插件 - 代理服务

Question

I've a requirement to develop a custom sonarqube plugin that will act as a proxy service.

I'm thinking of creating a simple Java application which:

• Application will keep on listening for request
• Receives a REST api URL (some 3rd party address) from caller as request
• Hits REST api and receives JSON response back
• Forward the response back to original caller

My question is, is it possible within sonarqube?

Supposing, it is possible: Second question - I've gone thru sonarqube documentation , but I'm not able to pinpoint which plugin class to use. Should I use PageDefinition only?

Please suggest. Thanks

It is possible to add third party library into a Custom SonarQube Plugin. You can create tasks in which you can do whatever you implement.

You should implement WebService Extension Point which allow you to extend SonarQube web API and add new bahaviours on requests.

PageDefinition is a way to add some web pages on the WebUI.
