Why does it seem like Sonar is ignoring @SuppressWarnings

Question

In my Spring Boot application I have placed the annotation:

 @SuppressWarnings("PMD.EmptyMethodInAbstractClassShouldBeAbstract")

However it seems Sonar is ignoring it as I'm still getting:

Empty method com.mycompany.DefaultService.validateData(String, PrimaryView, int, ServiceHelper) could be declared abstract

I've also tried placing the //NOPMD comment on the line and for that I'm getting:

 Remove usage of this "NOPMD" suppression comment filter.      NEW      squid:S1310

I'm new to Spring Boot, and I don't even see any Sonar plugins being specified in any of my POM files... Is it possible that my project is using an old version of Sonar and that's why these annotations/comments have no effect?

To invoke Sonar I'm using th following command:

mvn clean install sonar:sonar -DskipTests=true -Dsonar.language=java -Dsonar.analysis.mode=preview -Dsonar.host.url=http://susday10058.corp.mycompany.com:9000

I've also tried invoking it with -Dsonar.excludeMarker=NOPMD but that id not work either.

What am I missing?

You should use SonarQube identifiers.

Change:

@SuppressWarnings("PMD.EmptyMethodInAbstractClassShouldBeAbstract")

to:

@SuppressWarnings("pmd:EmptyMethodInAbstractClassShouldBeAbstract")
