Changes to the SonarLint for Eclipse extension points
This release features an additional extension point.
SonarLint Connection Token Provider
The extension point org.sonarlint.eclipse.core.connectionTokenProvider can be implemented by third-parties to store and retrieve the token of a specific connection in Connected Mode other than the default Eclipse Equinox Security storage currently used on the application level. This should be implemented for Eclipse-based IDEs and applications not bundled with Eclipse Equinox.
| Extension point | Method | Removed or added? | Why? |
|---|---|---|---|
| org.sonarlint.eclipse.core.connectionTokenProvider | org.sonarlint.eclipse.core.resource.IConnectionTokenProvider#getToken(String) | Added | To retrieve a token for a specific connection in Connected Mode denoted by its id |
| org.sonarlint.eclipse.core.connectionTokenProvider | org.sonarlint.eclipse.core.resource.IConnectionTokenProvider#setToken(String, String) | Added | To store a token for a specific connection in Connected Mode denoted by its id |
| org.sonarlint.eclipse.core.connectionTokenProvider | org.sonarlint.eclipse.core.resource.IConnectionTokenProvider#removeToken(String) | Added | To remove a token for a specific connection in Connected Mode denoted by its id |
