Debugging Sonar Qube plugin - sonarqube

Question

Following the guide at http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/DEV/Debugging, I have encounter an issue where the sonar-runner appears to be looking in the wrong place for the sonar-project.properties file.
This happens when I try to debug with Intellij.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Matt
I get the following error:

Is there any way to set the working directory, so sonar-runner finds the project properties in the correct location - where I am executing the command from?
Thanks
Matt

Why are you trying to update the user directory? Try to remove -Duser.dir=c:\dev\eci from SONAR_RUNNER_OPTS
