hudson: maven-sonar-plugin execution fails to download libraries from server - maven

Question

I have a hudson jobs doing the sonar stats for a maven project.
The execution of the sonar plugin fails with the following trace
[workspace] $ /hudson/hudson1/hudson/tools/maven-3.0.4/bin/mvn -f /hudson/hudson1/hudson/jobs/15_20_NX_Core_Quality/workspace/pom.xml -e -B sonar:sonar -Dsonar.jdbc.password= -Dsonar.forceAnalysis=true -Dsonar.login=admin -Dsonar.password=admin -Dsonar.jdbc.driver=net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver -Dsonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://VX16:1433;databaseName=Sonar2;SelectMethod=Cursor ******** -Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:8080/sonar ******** ********

Answer 1

Too bad 2.7.1 is not back-compatible.
Lock your plugin version to 2.6 in your pom.xml or upgrade your SonarQube
http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/HOME/Frequently+Asked+Questions

Answer 2

You're using a very very old version of SonarQube. I highly recommend you to upgrade. If you still want to remain on your version of SonarQube, you can try to downgrade sonar-maven-plugin to version 2.6.
