Answer 1

When we were using sonarserver ver 3.7.1 we used to have org.codehaus.sonar:sonar-maven-plugin. Once we migrated from Sonar Server to SonarQube server 4.5+ onwards, we need to use org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin. Currently in our project , we need to compile our code with jdk 6(as it is old project) and run the sonarqube server ver 4.5.7 analysis with java 7 so with java 6 we run the command mvn clean org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:0.7.4.201502262128:prepare-agent install and while running the sonar analysis we change the jvm to java 7 and execute the command mvn org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin:2.4:sonar -Dsonar -Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 -Dsonar.dynamicAnalysis=true
