in my pom.xml i use the dependency:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.sonar</groupId>
    <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>5.1</version>
</plugin>

I do not understand, why maven uses an other plugin than this which is included as dependency.

The Jenkins Job calls the following Targets:

clean
compile
sonar:sonar
-Dsonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracle11db:1521/orcl
-Dsonar.host.url=http://192.168.0.100:9000

I use Jenkins Version 2.21. SonarQube scanner 2.6.1 is configured in global configuration

I also tried to call

 org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin:2.3:sonar 

directly. but it needs java8 and my Project was build with Java7

Answer 1

have you tried using the plugin from org.codehaus.mojo?

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3</version>
</plugin>
