importing existing checkstyle in sonar

Question

I am trying to configure Sonarqubue for our project, however experiencing few issues. We are using checkstyle5.5 and with our own defined set of rules, and few extra jars. When I try to import our own checkstyle.xml, instead of using that it over rides and run checkstyle 5.6 Can any1 guide me, how to import our own checkstyle? I have gone through this like, but of not help. How can Sonar be configured to import new rulesets?

Currently I am suing sonar runner analyser, not maven or ant analyzer.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
