Why does the Maven command “mvn sonar:sonar” work without any plugin configuration in my “pom.xml”?
I have a Maven web project in my repo. I am a Maven noob but still I understand the fact that there are plugins which we need to configure only then we could run plugin specific commands. Facts: I have a sonar server running on my local machine at port 9000. I have not added any sonar specific plugin in my POM.xml Reference: http://www.sonarsource.org/we-had-a-dream-mvn-sonarsonar/ Observation: But still when I run mvn sonar:sonar in my project from command line it works fine. Matter of the fact is I have NOT configured sonar plugin in my POM.xml Even then from where the hell Maven is picking
