sonar design plugin unsatisfied dependency

Question

I have recently upgraded to SonarQube 5.1.2 and have added the "design" plugin that I used to have in my old 3.2 instance. This is my list of installed plugins:

I'm getting this error while trying to run mvn clean verify sonar:sonar on a project that used to work with old Sonar version. It also works OK when I exclude that design plugin:

-Dsonar.excudePlugins=design

Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

For now the last available version of the SonarQube Design Plugin is 4.5.6.

Plugin pom.xml file contains text

<parent>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.sonar</groupId>
    <artifactId>sonar</artifactId>
    <version>4.5.6</version>
    <relativePath>../..</relativePath>
</parent>

which mean that this plugin is compatible with SonarQube 4.5.6 LTS. So unfortunately you cannot use this plugin with SonarQube 5.2.
