How can I integrate maven project with SonarQube5.4? - maven

Question

I want to integrate my maven java application with SonarQube5.4.
Using maven3.3.3 and MySQL5.7.12
Already SonarQube installed successfully and its running.
If i go to my project path in command prompt and run command mvn sonar:sonar, i'm getting the following error
[WARNING] Failed to retrieve plugin descriptor for org.codehaus.sonar:sonar-maven-plugin:2.4:
Plugin org.codehaus.sonar:sonar-maven-plugin:2.4 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved:
Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.codehaus.sonar:sonar-maven-plugin:jar:2.4
Downloading: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo/sonar-maven-plugin/maven-metadata.xml
[WARNING] Could not transfer metadata org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin/maven-metadata.xml from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): repo.maven.apache.org
[ERROR] Error resolving version for plugin 'org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin'
from the repositories [local (C:\Users\username\.m2\repository),
central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)]:
Plugin not found in any plugin repository -> [Help 1]
But if i go to my .m2 directory org/codehaus/mojo/sonar-maven-plugin i can find maven-metadata.xml. Also i can find sonar-maven-plugin-2.4.jar, sonar-maven-plugin-2.4.pom in org/codehaus/mojo/sonar-maven-plugin/2.4 folders
I'm confused, these are available in the local repository then its trying to download?
Help me
Please find my pom.xml below

have you tried to remove org/codehaus/mojo/sonar-maven-plugin from you local repo and start maven again?
