the application environment is Java 8 and Maven 3.6.3, I try to analysis application with this script
mvn clean verify sonar:sonar -Dsonar.projectKey=my-webapp -Dsonar.host.url=https://sonar.local.com -Dsonar.login= *****************

* what have you tried so far to achieve this
I read this https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/languages/java/#header-3 but I don`t know how to set **sonar.java.jdkHome=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_211** previous script.

I try to execute the script like this
