Answer 1

Eclipse Helios is only compatible with Sonar Eclipse 2.4.0, as you can see on the installation page: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Installing+Sonar+in+Eclipse

If you want to use the latest features of Sonar Eclipse (3.1), then you should upgrade your Eclipse installation to at least Indigo (3.7.x).
