Unable to run sonar on a project not built with maven 2

This is an issue with the latest release (1.6) of the Sonar plugin (http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Sonar+plugin) "1.6"

I am running:

• Sonar 2.4.1
• Hudson 1.393
• Ubuntu 10.04.1
• Tomcat 6

After updating to release 1.6 of the Hudson Sonar plugin (http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Sonar+plugin), I am unable to run sonar on a project NOT built with maven 2, but an ANT built script.

The Hudson job still has the "Check if this project is NOT built with maven 2." checkbox ticked, but the job is now attempting to find a pom.xml file in the root of the workspace i.e. (mvn -f /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/workspace/trunk/pom.xml -e -B sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=http://xxx:8080/sonar/) instead of as before with release 1.5 (mvn -f pom.xml -e -B sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=http://xxx:8080/sonar/)

I have currently downgraded to the earlier 1.5 release of the plugin and sonar executes as expected. Note that the 'xxx's on this ticket have been edit deliberately.

[trunk] $ mvn -f /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/workspace/trunk/pom.xml -e -B sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=http://xxx:8080/sonar/
