No plugin found for prefix 'sonar' in the current project and in the plugin groups

Question

I'm getting this error:

No plugin found for prefix 'sonar' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.codehaus.mojo, org.apache.maven.plugins] available from the repositories

I have added all plugins in my local, but it's still showing the same issue.

Answer 1

Do you have pluginGroups in your settings.xml?

You can find the document from SonarQube

And double check if you define all your plugins in section

Answer 2

Since the link posted in the other answer is outdated: The current documentation can be found here https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/scan/sonarscanner-for-maven/

tl;dr:
Use this snippet in your settings.xml:

<settings>
    <pluginGroups>
        <pluginGroup>org.sonarsource.scanner.maven</pluginGroup>
    </pluginGroups>
</settings>
