Now you need to configure sonar.properties file in sonar/conf.In this file you need to do some minor changes based on your project. Those are changing the default database if you are not using derby and change username and password of your database.
#——————————————————–
# To use an environment variable, use the following syntax : ${env:NAME_OF_ENV_VARIABLE}
# For example :
# sonar.jdbc.url: ${env:SONAR_JDBC_URL}
#
#
# See also the file conf/wrapper.conf for JVM advanced settings
#———————————————————
#———————————————————
# WEB
# THESE SETTINGS ARE USED ONLY IN STANDALONE MODE. IGNORED WHEN THE WAR IS DEPLOYED ON A JEE SERVER.
#———————————————————
# Listen host/port and context path (for example / or /sonar). Default values are 0.0.0.0:9000/
#sonar.web.host: 0.0.0.0
#sonar.web.port: 9000
#sonar.web.context: /
# Log HTTP requests. Deactivated by default.
#sonar.web.jettyRequestLogs: ../../logs/jetty-yyyy_mm_dd.request.log
# Apache mod_jk connector. Supported only in standalone mode.
# Uncomment to activate AJP13 connector.
#sonar.ajp13.port: 8009
#———————————————————
# DATABASE
#———————————————————
#—– Embedded database
# Comment the following lines to deactivate the default embedded database (used only for tests and demos)
sonar.jdbc.url: jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/sonar;create=true
sonar.jdbc.driverClassName: org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver
sonar.jdbc.validationQuery: values(1)
# data directory, autodetected : /data if standalone application, /WEB-INF/classes/data if WAR deployement (exploded mode)
#sonar.embeddedDatabase.dataDir:
# derby embedded database server listening port, defaults to 1527
#sonar.derby.drda.portNumber: 1527
#—– MySQL 5.x/6.x
# Comment the embedded database and uncomment the following lines to use MySQL
#sonar.jdbc.url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8
#sonar.jdbc.driverClassName: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
#sonar.jdbc.validationQuery: select 1
#—– Oracle 10g/11g
# Comment the embedded database and uncomment the following lines to use Oracle
#sonar.jdbc.url: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost/XE
#sonar.jdbc.driverClassName: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
#sonar.jdbc.validationQuery: select 1 from dual
# Activate if more than one Sonar Oracle schemas on the data server (for example different versions installed).
# In that case, use the same property during maven analysis (-Dsonar.hibernate.default_schema=xxx)
#sonar.hibernate.default_schema: sonar
#—– PostgreSQL 8.x
# uncomment the 3 following lines to use PostgreSQL
#sonar.jdbc.url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost/sonar
#sonar.jdbc.driverClassName: org.postgresql.Driver
#sonar.jdbc.validationQuery: select 1
#—– Microsoft SQLServer
# The Jtds open source driver is available in extensions/jdbc-driver/mssql. More details on http://jtds.sourceforge.
# sonar.jdbc.url:
# sonar.jdbc.driverClassName: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
# sonar.jdbc.validationQuery: select 1
#—– Global database settings
sonar.jdbc.username: sonar
sonar.jdbc.password: sonar
sonar.jdbc.maxActive: 10
sonar.jdbc.maxIdle: 5
sonar.jdbc.minIdle: 2
sonar.jdbc.maxWait: 5000
sonar.jdbc.minEvictableIdleTimeMillis: 600000
sonar.jdbc.timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis: 30000
# Transaction isolation level. Default driver setting is used by default.
# Values : 1 (TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITED), 2 (TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED), 4 (TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ), 8 (TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE)
# sonar.jdbc.defaultTransactionIsolation: 2
# When packaged in a WAR, JDBC datasource can be configured into the application server then registered to JNDI.
# In such a case Sonar uses this datasource to connect to database, else if binds itself its own datasource.
# Note : Jonas does not accept to bind subcontexts, so name should be something like ‘jdbc-sonar’, without slashes.
# sonar.jdbc.jndiName: jdbc/sonar
# If you don’t use the default JDBC drivers, as listed above, then you have to explicitly set the dialect to use.
# Values are : mysql, derby, oracle, postgresql
# sonar.jdbc.dialect=
# ——————————————————–
# EXTENSIONS
# ——————————————————–
# Absolute path of coding rules extensions (custom rules that are not provided with tools like Checkstyle or PMD).
# This parameter is useful when Sonar is deployed as a WAR. It avoids from packaging the WAR file each time extensions JARs are updated.
# The directory contains subdirectories like checkstyle/ and pmd/
# Example :
# sonar.rules.extensionsPath: /user/home/jdoe/sonar/extensions
# Example for windows platform (backslash char must be escaped) :
# sonar.rules.extensionsPath: D:\\softwares\\sonar-1.8\\extensions
You are done with your configurations. Now show time, go to commnd prompt and enter following two commands
mvn clean install -Dtest=false -DfailIfNoTests=false
mvn sonar:sonar
All the best…………..!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
