Description

The purpose is to deprecate the way "sonar.modules" work.

Old mechanism:

  • "sonar.modules" is a list of paths that point to Ant scripts.
  • Those scripts are loaded to define the module definitions
  • This causes some issues (see SONARPLUGINS-2156) plus the fact that it is not flexible not reusable in tools like Gradle

New mechanism:

  • It will rely on the multi-module support implemented for the Sonar Runner (see SONARPLUGINS-2202)
  • It will be possible to specify the multi-module structure using either:
    • only properties in the root project (like explained in SONARPLUGINS-2202)
    • a mix of properties of the root project and "properties" files located in modules

Notes:

  • the "old" mechanism will still be available as "compatibility mode"

I'm a little confused by the description of the new mechanism. Since the multi-module structure will now refer to property files rather than Ant scripts, does this mean that the Ant Task will now require the Sonar Runner in order to perform multi-module analysis?

The Ant Task will transparently embed the Sonar Runner. So no need to install the Sonar Runner aside the Ant Task.
What's more, the description says that the multi-module support uses either property files or only properties (easier way in most cases). We'll update our example projects to reflect this.
