org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:5.1 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved

After upgrading SonarQube from 6.1 to 6.5, we get this error in Jenkins 2.73:

Version of sonar-maven-plugin sonar:sonar

Maven command as configured in Jenkins:

-P test,qa clean org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:prepare-agent verify emma:emma -DgsExec=/usr/local/bin/gs -DcompareExec=/usr/bin/compare -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true $SONAR_MAVEN_GOAL -Dsonar.host.url=$SONAR_HOST_URL -Dsonar.login=$SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN

SonarQube related messages in the build log:

[WARNING] The POM for org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:jar:5.1 is missing, no dependency information available

(...)

[ERROR] Plugin org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:5.1 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failure to find org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:jar:5.1 in http://repo.itextsupport.com/repo was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of itextsupport has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

I don't know where org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:5.1 comes from, it's not configured anywhere.

I also don't know why it tries to get the jar from our local repository instead of Maven Central.

What needs to be changed to solve this?

[Dan Tran]

there is no such version 5.1

see http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/sonarsource/scanner/maven/sonar-maven-plugin/

-D

I know that there is no such version.

Would you mind actually answering the question? Thanks a lot!

I changed "Version of sonar-maven-plugin" from blank (which defaults to sonar:sonar, according to the docuemtation) to the value "org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.3.0.603:sonar", as described on https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+Maven

When I do that, I get this error:

I changed "Version of sonar-maven-plugin" from "org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.3.0.603:sonar" to "3.3.0.603" and now it seems to work.

Thanks for being my rubber duck.
