How to not download *all* the sonar modules into the .sonar cache, only the ones needed by my project

I see Sonar keeps trying to download modules that are not needed in my Kotlin project.
Is there a way to specify the subset of modules actually needed?

Hey there.

The scanner doesn’t know what analysers it needs until after they are downloaded (as the analysers define what files they scan), so it is not possible.

I would need to run a gradlew command with --no-parallel that only primes the sonar cache
and does nothing else. Is there something like this? Otherwise I have to switch the entire pipeline
to using gradlew --no-parallel which is simply not an option.
