To create custom rules for XML in SonarQube, you can follow these steps:

  1. Write the custom rule: Create a Java class that extends org.sonar.api.server.rule.RulesDefinition and implement the method define(Context). In this method, you can define your custom rules using the NewRepository and NewRule classes.
  2. Register the custom rule: Register your custom rule by adding the class in the list of classes to be loaded by SonarQube. You can do this by adding the class name to the sonar.plugins property in the sonar.properties file.
  3. Analyze the XML files: After adding the custom rule, run the SonarQube analysis on your project that contains the XML files. SonarQube will now check the XML files against your custom rules and report any violations.


By following these steps, you can create custom rules for XML in SonarQube and ensure that your XML files adhere to the coding standards and best practices set by your team.
