Hi @efren.villamagua,

What Sachidananda said applies to a version of the `Java Code Quality and Security` plugin \>= 6.1, it does not support anymore JaCoCo native format. In this case, see [[Coverage & Test Data] Importing JaCoCo coverage report in XML format](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/coverage-test-data-importing-jacoco-coverage-report-in-xml-format/12151)

So you should check the version of `Java Code Quality and Security` in the SonarQube/Administration/Marketplace.

If the java plugin is \< 6.1, it should not be related to the XML format, please run `mvn -X sonar:sonar` and provide the logs between:

- `Sensor JaCoCo XML Report Importer [jacoco]`  
and
- `Sensor JaCoCo XML Report Importer [jacoco] (done)`
