Answer 1

The problem looks pretty clear to me. The workspace was checked out with an older version of SVN, below 1.8. When sonar is trying to run, it is using SVN 1.8 which won't work if the workspace was checked out with a previous SVN version. There are two options here:

1. Delete the workspace and do the checkout with SVN 1.8
2. Configure Jenkins to use the same version of SVN you used to check out the code.
