sonar-maven-plugin exception - Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/el/ELContext

[syn...@gmail.com]

We are running SonarQube Professional 5.6 and have a project that builds successfully but throws the following error doing a Sonar Analysis from Jenkins.  The errors seems to be during the PMD 5.4.0 execution:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin:2.6:sonar (default-cli) on project xxx: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/el/ELContext -> [Help 1]

org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin:2.6:sonar (default-cli) on project xxx: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/el/ELContext

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi,

Can you provide the full stack trace (use -e parameter on your Maven build)?

Thanks

Hi,

The error is indeed raised in the SonarQube PMD plugin but it seems to be a general dependency issue. You can have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10710090/absent-code-attribute-in-method-that-is-not-native-or-abstract-in-class-file-jav for some advices.
