All you have to configure is the SonarQube plugin group and the SonarQube connection parameters in your maven settings.xml
<settings>
...
<pluginGroups>
<pluginGroup>org.sonarsource.scanner.maven</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>psipenta-nexus-pjf-suite</id>
...
<properties>
<sonar.host.url>
http://localhost:9000
</sonar.host.url>
<sonar.jdbc.url>
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true
</sonar.jdbc.url>
<sonar.jdbc.username>
sonar
</sonar.jdbc.username>
<sonar.jdbc.password>
sonar
</sonar.jdbc.password>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
Be sure that the profile, you configure the connection properties for, is the active maven profile.
Having done this, a maven project can be checked on SonarQube with
mvn sonar:sonar
This goal is being executed after mvn verify. This means, the project is also built and installed with this command.
As a result, you see your project at the SonarQube dashboard: http://localhost:9000/
Hint: The SonarQube project name is the project artifact name by default. It is possible to configure that name via maven:
mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.projectName=MY_PROJECT_ON_SONAR |
