Requires SonarQube 6.3+
This plugin allows you to synchronize and export issue data (status, resolution, assignee and comments) of issues that have been confirmed, reopened or resolved. After exporting the data you can import it into a project where the issues in that project will be matched with the exported issue data; if matched the issue will be confirmed, reopened or resolved. Optionally the matched issue can be assigned to the same user and missing comments can be added. When working within one SonarQube installation the issues can be updated between projects directly.
- Keeping resolved issues in sync between the master and a release/feature/maintenance branch
- Using the list as a delivery for QA reports
Issues are matched using the component, rule and linenumber. If an issue is matched it will be reported as 'matched'; if no transition can be determined to reach the exported status and resolution a 'matchFailure' will be reported. If the transition could not be succesfully completed a 'transitionFailure' will be reported.
Assignee are matched using the username; the issue will be assigned to the assignee if the username is different and the issue will be reported as 'assigned'. If the assignment could not be succesfully completed an 'assignFailure' will be reported.
Comments are matched by comparing the markdown. If a comment is not present on the issue it will be added and the issue will be reported as 'commented'. If a comment could not be succesfully added a 'commentFailure' will be reported.
When transitioning, assigning issues or adding comments the current logged in account will be used.

The main work for the plugin is done via webservices that are available via the SonarQube Web API (see SonarQube -> Helper -> Web API):
- Update issues from another project: http POST to /api/issueresolver/update
- Export issues from a project: http GET to /api/issueresolver/export
- Import issues in a project: http POST to /api/issueresolver/import
These webservices can be used by external tools to trigger the functionality.
