Sonar maven integration

Question

I have followed the directions to integrate Sonar with Maven - altered settings.xml to include sonar repository at:

http: //localhost:9000/deploy/maven

and I have verified I am able to see the readme.txt file at:

http: //localhost:9000/deploy/maven/README.txt

but when running sonar:sonar I keep getting the following message:

[INFO] [sonar:sonar]
[INFO] Sonar host: http: //localhost:9000

  org.codehaus.sonar.runtime:sonar-core-maven-plugin:pom:20090803213910

from the specified remote repositories:

sonar (http: //localhost:9000/deploy/maven),

nexus (http: //:8081/nexus/content/groups/public),

for project org.codehaus.sonar.runtime:sonar-core-maven-plugin [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any idea what I am missing?

1.The maven plugins required to run sonar on your localhost reside @ http://localhost:9000/deploy/maven/........... ( they are bundled with your sonar installation )

2.to pick the plugins(bundled with your sonar installation) you need to execute 'mvn sonar:sonar ' at the root of your application

3.You need not depend on the nexus repositories of your company

4.When you do not want to depend on the nexus repositories, you need to mirror out 'sonar' in the mirror declaration of your settings.xml => *,!sonar include this !sonar in your mirror definitions

declare http://localhost:9000 in one of your active profiles
Start your sonar server

Now execute the command 'mvn sonar:sonar' ,the maven-sonar plugins are picked from local sonar installation..

Good Luck , aravind.dev
