I believe this is due to fact the systemPropertiesVariables set for maven-surefire-plugin.

You cannot set system Properties for running a Java program through Maven.
Maven only sets properties for the build (and the tests). Invoking the program after build is a completely different thing.

Jenkins SonarQube plugin Multi Module Code Coverage Not Displaying

so we have a Spring Boot maven based project, which we split into multi modules which all works perfectly fine in unit tests and Jenkins, but coverage is not showing up in Sonar at all.
This is the structure of our application:
ApplicationRoot
-SharedCommonModule
--main
---java
-----com...(SomeModule.java)
--test
----com....(SomeModuleTest.java)
-ApplicationModule
--main
---java
-----com...(Application.java)

We have researched and tried to hack it together from multiple examples, but nothing seems to work - closest we've got, is for Sonar to show some coverage, while some classes would show 0% coverage even though we know for sure we have UTs that used those classes (tested via IntelliJ).
So, without without the added properties and build xml sections above, we get partial coverage, only for ApplicaitonModule, I think all reported uncovered classes, belong to SharedCommonModule
EDIT: I want to clarify, the combined jacoco.exec file does show coverage for classes when loaded in IntelliJ Coverage tool, but Sonar does not show coverage for the very same classes in its report (which is generated only when I remove the build and properties xml elements in the parent pom).
Please help :)
You have Maven projects, so you should start using Sonar Scanner for Maven.
It is smart enough to generate all parameters for you.
If you remove:
<sonar.jacoco.reportPath>${project.basedir}/../target/jacoco.exec</sonar.jacoco.reportPath>
<jacoco.destFile>${sonar.jacoco.reportPath}</jacoco.destFile>
<destFile>${sonar.jacoco.reportPath}</destFile>

add to parent pom file:
<name>ApplicationModule</name>
<properties>
<sonar.sources>src/main</sonar.sources>
<sonar.tests>src/test</sonar.tests>
<sonar.projectKey>com.Application</sonar.projectKey>
</properties>
add to SharedCommonModule pom file:
<name>SharedCommonModule</name>
add to ApplicationModule.pom file:
<name>ApplicationModule</name>
and finally execute:
mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.projectVersion="1.0.0.${BUILD_NUMBER}"
After that you should see missing coverage data.
Btw. it is not recomended to set sonar.projectKey for Maven projects. I set it to the same value, so your project will be accessible under the same link.

How can I run Cucumber test using explicit Maven goal?

I have an application contains both Cucumber and JBehave test, I want to be able to run one of them optionally every time, I can do that with JBehave by explicit Maven goal, but the problem is that Cucumber run implicitly with each build or test, is there anyway to stop and run it o choice?
You can achieve this by configuring the Maven Surefire Plugin as part of your default build or/and via a profile.
If your Maven build section, you can skip the Cucumber tests by default (given that they either have all the same suffix or belong all to the same package, alternatively you can arrange them to meet any of these two criterias):
<project>
[...]
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.19.1</version>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<!-- classes that include the name CucumberTest, as an example -->
<exclude>**/*CucumberTest*.java</exclude>
<!-- classes in a package whose last segment is named cucumber, as an example -->
<exclude>**/cucumber/*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
[...]
</project>
As such, Maven by default (as part of the default build) will skip your Cucumber tests.
Then, you can configure a Maven Profile to run exclusively the Cucumber tests with a counterpart of the Maven Surefire Plugin configuration as following:
<project>
[...]
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>cucumber-tests</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.19.1</version>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>none</exclude>
</excludes>
<includes>
<!-- Include your Cucumber tests, as an example -->
<include>**/*CucumberTest.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<profile>
</profiles>
[...]
</project>
Then running mvn clean install -Pcucumber-tests will run your Cucumber tests.
This approach would give you more flexibility on configuration in both scenarios (default or cucumber tests build) and you could swap the behavior according to your needs.
Alternatively, for a simpler (but less flexible) approach, you could follow the suggestion on another SO answer and use a Maven property to have a switch cucumber tests on/off as following:
<properties>
<exclude.cucumber.tests>nothing-to-exclude</exclude.cucumber.tests>
</properties>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>exclude-cucumber</id>
<properties>
<exclude.cucumber.tests>**/*Cucumber*.java</exclude.cucumber.tests>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>${exclude.cucumber.tests}</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Using the configuration above, by default Maven will execute Cucumber tests and skip them when executing mvn clean install -Pexclude-cucumber (the profile will change the content of the exclude.cucumber.tests property and as such change the Surefire plugin filter). You can of course swap the behavior is as well and have an include-cucumber profile instead.

Installing and compiling Maven artifacts on Java 8

I have a project with a pom.xml that has the following <build> declaration:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
When I run mvn install on this project, it compiles the project, runs unit tests and publishes it to my local repo. I am trying to learn a little more about Maven here, and am having a tough time finding documentation/explanations on the following:
How am I able to run mvn install, if the POM doesn't declare it under build/plugins? Does maven-compiler-plugin include maven-install-plugin, if so, how could I have figured that out?
Most importantly: the value of build/plugins/plugin/configuration/source and .../target are both set to 1.8. If my machine has Java 8 on it, and I run mvn install on this project without any errors, does that guarantee that the project builds with Java 8? I'm looking at the docs for the Compiler Plugin and don't see those source/target configs listed anywhere.
First you should learn what the build life cycle is and how it works and how the plugins are bound to the life cycle by default.
Furthermore you should understand that in Maven every project inherits from the super pom file which is part of the maven distribution (the package you have downloaded). The super pom defines the default folder layout and some versions of plugins.
The question to define the maven-compiler-plugin as you did is to be very accurate simply wrong. You should have defined it like the following:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
This would overwrite the definition which is inherited by the super pom and changes it's configuration. In your case i would suggest to change the definition into this:
<project>
...
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
..
</project>
The encoding should be set globally cause there are other plugins which use this definition like the maven-resources-plugin. The usage of the above property simplifies this, cause every plugin which has an option for encoding will use the default as defined in the property.
To be sure using the correct version of Java (your JDK on your machine) you have to use the maven-enforcer-plugin.
Apart from that please take a look onto the plugins page which shows the most up-to-date releases of the plugins.
As a good documentation i can recomment the Books on Maven but be aware they are written with Maven 2 in mind. So if something is not clear ask on users mailing list of here on SO.

How do I disable the maven-compiler-plugin?

I have a maven project that uses the aspectj-compiler-plugin. I use intertype declarations so there are references to Aspect code in my Java code. Because of this, the maven-compiler-plugin fails to compile since it does not compile the aspect code.
My question is: how do I disable the maven-compiler-plugin from running because it is not doing anything useful?
There are several ways that I can get this project compiling, but they are sub-optimal:
Add exclusion filters to the maven-compiler-plugin. The plugin will still run, but it will not try to compile anything. Problem is that this breaks the ajdt project configurator in Eclipse
Move all java code to the aspectj folders. This doesn't feel right either.
You can disable the a plugin by set the phase of the plugin to none.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-compile</id>
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
In Maven 3, the following will do this, for example disabling the clean plugin:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-clean</id>
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The same technique can be used for any other plugin defined in the super-POM, the packaging type, or the parent POM. The key point is that you must copy the <id> shown by help:effective-pom, and change the <phase> to an invalid value (e.g. "none"). If you don't have the <id> (as e.g. in Jintian DENG's original answer – it has since been edited to add one), it will not work, as you have discovered.
Either configure the skipMain parameter:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skipMain>true</skipMain>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Or pass the maven.main.skip property:
mvn install -Dmaven.main.skip=true
The reason maven-compiler-plugin executes in the first place is because you trigger one of the default lifecycle bindings. For example if you're packaging jar using mvn package, it will trigger compile:compile at compile phase.
Maybe try not to use the default lifecycle, but use mvn aspectj:compile instead.
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html has more information about maven default lifecycle bindings

Run Junit Suite using Maven Command

I have multiple Junit test suites (SlowTestSuite, FastTestSuite etc). I would like to run only specific suite using maven command. e.g.
mvn clean install test -Dtest=FastTestSuite -DfailIfNoTests=false
but its not working. Just not running any test at all. Any suggestions please.
I have achieved this by adding property into pom as:
<properties>
<runSuite>**/FastTestSuite.class</runSuite>
</properties>
and maven-surefire-plugin should be:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>${runSuite}</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
so it means by default it will run FastTestSuite but you can run other test e.g. SlowTestSuite using maven command as:
mvn install -DrunSuite=**/SlowTestSuite.class -DfailIfNoTests=false
The keyword you missed is maven-surefire-plugin :http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/.
Usage is :
<project>
[...]
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12.1</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/com.your.packaged.Sample.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
[...]
</project>
If you make a little search on stack overflow, you may find information :
Running a JUnit4 Test Suite in Maven using maven-failsafe-plugin
Using JUnit Categories with Maven Failsafe plugin
In addition, you may define profile, like fastTest, that will be triggered by adding parameter to cmd line :
mvn package -PfastTests
This profile would include some inclusions too.
