Sonarqube analysis for selected modules

Question

I have a multimodules project with many dependencies. Until now after successful build I was performing sonar analysis of whole project. To save time and build project I detect which modules have been changed and run maven command:

mvn install -pl module1,module5,module2 -amd

Is there any way to do static analysis only for built modules? Something like mvn sonar:sonar -pl module1,module5,module2 -amd? of course it doesn't work, do you have any idea?

I know that there is option:

mvn sonar:sonar -pl !module2 

but my project has more than 50 modules so if commit change only 5 modules I will have to list 45 others modules.

Answer 1

SonarQube always requires full scan. If you exclude some modules and execute the scanner, then excluded modules will disappear from SonarQube. It means there is no such flag.
