Sonar Runner does not use properties of sonar-project.properties

Question

I am using SonarQube Runner 2.4 at jenkins since today but the analysis fail with the message:

Build step 'Invoke Standalone Sonar Analysis' marked build as failure

If I add the property "MyProject.sonar.sources=src" In the project properties in Jenkins (I use "Invoke Standalone Sonar Analysis"). I will receive the error message

ERROR: Caused by: Findbugs needs sources to be compiled. Please build project before executing sonar and check the location of compiled classes.

This means the sonar-project.properties (/.jenkins/workspace/Deploy/MyProject/sonar-project.properties) is not read or used because there are all values defined:

sonar.language=java
sonar.projectName=MyProject
sonar.projectVersion=0.1
sonar.binaries=bin
sonar.projectDescription=
sonar.projectKey=MyProjectKey
sonar.sources=src

When sonar is executed I can see the correct path to MyProject where : -DMyProject.sonar.projectBaseDir=/.jenkins/workspace/Deploy/MyProject

Or does the name of sonar-project.properties changed?

Findbug analyses your binary code (i.e your .class file) not the source. Your sonar-project.properties says your binaries are in the 'bin' directory. Is that where your project's class files are? — matt freake

Please build the project in the release mode. After the build happens you will get the dll's produced somewhere. you have to point to that location.
