How to exclude some maven project from sonar analysis

Question

I have many(Let say 10 (A, B, C...)) eclipse plugin which is maven based.

I have one master pom file which includes all other plugin projects. now by building master file with sonar:sonar goal it will build all the plugins.

So my question: Is there is any way so that I can exclude some plugin let say A and C.?

Answer 1

There are several ways, one of which is adding the sonar.skip property inside the pom.xml of the project / module you want to skip.

This excludes a project from SonarQube analysis:

<properties>     <sonar.skip>true</sonar.skip> </properties> 

This also works with Jenkins and running Sonar as a post build action.
