Suggested workaround to change javascript directory does not work

-Djavascript.sourceDirectory=src/main/webapp/resources/javascript

to override the project's pom's sourceDirectory. (we cannot update the pom as it is a java project that contains javascript... a pretty common occurrence SONAR-926.

Anyway that property is ignored altogether by the plugin, and still tries to analyze the java directory.

mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=http://hostname:8092/sonar -Dsonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://hostname:3306/sonar -Dsonar.jdbc.username=sonar -Dsonar.jdbc.password={aes}secrethash== -Dsonar.language=js -Dsonar.branch=js-branch -Djavascript.sourceDirectory=src/main/webapp/resources/javascript -DskipTests=true -DskipITs=true -Dsonar.skipDesign=true -Dtest=false -Dsonar.dynamicAnalysis=false

but once executed it still says:

[INFO] [10:30:33.682] Source directories:
[INFO] [10:30:33.682] C:\usr\workspaces\myproject\src\main\java
[INFO] [10:30:33.682] Test directories:
[INFO] [10:30:33.682] C:\usr\workspaces\myproject\src\test\java

Hi,

First of all - please do not create any tickets before discussion in Users Mailing List.

There is no such property in plugin, so probably you misunderstood comment ( https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARPLUGINS-1320?focusedCommentId=281090#comment-281090 ), which suggest to slightly update pom.xml and introduce this property as a plain Maven property.
If you don't have an ability to use Maven for JavaScript analysis, then you can give a try to Standalone Sonar Runner : http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Analyse+with+a+simple+Java+Runner

In any case I'm going to close this ticket - please use Users Mailing List to get future help.

Please go back and read the ticket again. he explicitly suggests the property i used, closing the ticket as resolved based on that.

OK, I see he was using a placeholder, my bad. REALLY frustrating I cant update ticket or my own comments....

And the problem is not maven, even with the standalone runner I can only specify one directory (in one properties file), and would still need to update a file for each different analysis.

And again - please initiate discussion in Users Mailing List by explaining what you want to achieve and which problems do you have in order to get help from community.

Thanks.
