SonarQube Plugin create new rules after server start

Question

I want to create a SonarQube plugin which provides the functionality of rule creation. The rules are ought to be provided by an importer which parses a however-looking (custom) definition file and creates (custom) rules from that definition file. This importer is started by user action.

I did not found a possibility to create new rules after server start. Do you know a way of doing this?

Answer 1

The only way to do this is through rule templates . Otherwise, all rules must be registered at server startup.
