SonarQube License-Check 1.0 Beta

First beta of new plugin for SonarQube to check software licenses.

Posted by Christian Köberl on 2016-10-10

We are happy to announce our new plugin to check software dependencies for licenses in SonarQube: SonarQube License-Check.

Rewrite and new name

We were forced to rewrite our Dependency Check Sonar Plugin because SonarQube changed a lot of internals - including the removal of any dependencies between components.

The successor is called “SonarQube License-Check”. Two reasons for the rename: first, our plugin actually checks licenses and there was a name clash with the Dependency-Check Plugin for SonarQube.

Beta-phase

The first release is just a beta - but we are already using the plugin on our production SonarQube. We hope to release the first release in October 2016.
