Sonar build gives error for :sonar-maven3-plugin:jar:5.4

Question

I have upgraded the Sonar version to 5.4 and while running the POM to generate the report, getting the below error:

[INFO]
[INFO] --- sonar-maven-plugin:2.1:sonar (default-cli) @ HEP05_NY_R2.0_JUNIT_ProviderInformationComponents ---

Can someone tell, where should I look into resolve the error and let me know if you need more details.

Answer 1

You've tagged your question "sonarqube-5.4" on that basis, I'll say that the version of the Maven plugin you're using is incompatible.

According to the docs, 2.2.1 is compatible through SonarQube version 4.5.x, but not with 5.x.
