How can we make SonarLint startup faster in Eclips

问题:

In our case we had a parent project (trunk) where all plug-ins where sub-projects and we want all the sub projects to have the same rules. In order to make maintenance easier we thought we could bind all plug-in projects in eclipse to trunk (so we can just batch update them etc.). The problem here is that for some reason it always loads all sub projects for each project. 1) they are always the same 2) there is not more information in the call of the sub-project that the former call did not get.

If we bind each project to the real correct project in SonarLint that is a lot of effort. (we have hundreds of plug-ins.) Still, for our 100+ plug-in projects that we have in Eclipse SonarLint takes some minutes to get all the info from the server.

How can we make SonarLint faster? Is there a recommended way? Can we help to improve the logic for this scenario?

I think the title of your question is confusing. This is not about SonarLint startup, but about SonarLint "update all bindings" feature.

I have created a ticket that we will try to fix in the next version: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLE-200

Note that not binding Eclipse project to the correct SonarQube project/module will prevent correct match between local and remote issues. It means issues flagged as "won't fix" or "false positive" on SonarQube side will not be muted in Eclipse.

You said mapping many projects is tedious. What about the auto-bind feature? If it is failing to correctly guess binding between local and remote projects, I encourage you to open a thread on the SonarLint Google group to so that we can investigate the reason.
