Replaced by new sonar-cnes-cat-plugin

Will be replaced by the future sonar-cnes-cat-plugin...

What is this future sonar-cnes-cat-plugin?

Based on users' expectations, I'm thinking about a plugin similar to scan-plugin but whose role is only to compute a command line for https://github.com/cnescatlab/sonar-scanner.

Docker-CAT address an effective use case where people sometimes only want to run a ponctual analysis.
On the other hand, having a central SonarQube is useful to share quality profiles or any results between QA-Team.
As some users like to simply have to fill a form and click a button to have processing started, an idea could be to have a plugin that generates a script or command line to copy-paste. This command will run the scanner and push results to the SonarQube where the form was filed.

Hi @gbonnefille,

This issue is aimed to track all changes needed to gather in only one plugin all features added in Docker CAT for one-shot analysis. In other words, it aims to gather:

• https://github.com/cnescatlab/sonar-cnes-scan-plugin
• https://github.com/cnescatlab/sonar-cnes-cxx-plugin
• https://github.com/cnescatlab/sonar-cnes-export-plugin

It will also require presence of other plugins to be correctly loaded like:

• https://github.com/cnescatlab/sonar-icode-cnes-plugin
• https://github.com/cnescatlab/sonar-cnes-python-plugin
• https://github.com/cnescatlab/sonar-cnes-report
• etc.

New associated features would be:

• Integrated sonar-scanner on server-side
• Uploadable source code to be analyzed
• Feature-flipping (for centralized server)

Since the publication of https://github.com/cnescatlab/sonar-scanner, what about having this plugin evolves to trigger the analysis in a Docker?
The user (admin?) fills the form and, when validated, a Docker container based on cnescatlab/sonar-scanner is run.
A simpler approach: a simple user (non admin) fills the form and get a script or archive with anything preconfigured to run the analysis on his side, with cnescatlab/sonar-scanner Docker.

The main idea is to keep the simplicity of docker-cat for audit use-cases, but keep the client-server model, keeping each part well separated, avoiding complex requirements on the server side...
