How can i add a module to a maven multi-project for sonar?

Question

i have a Maven multi project with several modules in the pom.xml. But for the sonar-Scan i want to use other modules (includes and excludes)!

The property-file (sonar-project.properties) is not used in Maven-Projects, so the properties sonar.modules and xxx.sonar.projectBaseDir are not working.

How can i configure it with Maven?

Answer 1

You can use Maven profiles to include only specific modules: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html

Example:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>all</id>
        <modules>
            <module>module-A</module>
            <module>module-B</module>
            <module>module-C</module>
        </modules>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>sonar</id>
        <modules>
            <module>module-A</module>
            <module>module-C</module>
            <module>module-D</module>
        </modules>
    </profile>
</profiles>

Execute mvn -Psonar clean package sonar:sonar
