How can I load a predefined rule set to a sonar profile

Question

i have a local sonar server running. i would like to create a new profile with a set of rules that were predefined by someone else. i have the XML file containing all the rules.

is there a way to upload the XML file to the profile and not define the rules manually?

thanks

Make sure you are logged into Sonar.

Click on Quality Profiles in the top navigation bar, then click on "Restore Profile" on the right hand side under the search bar. Make sure you have all the applicable quality plugins that the export is using or the restore will choke.
