Jacoco XML format cannot work as good as the binary format for multi-module maven

SonarQube Server / Community Build
16

Hi @Peter_Nelissen,

One thing I understood from the discussion on JaCoCo issue 974 is that maven lifecycle is not suitable to run something after all modules. A colleague helped me to find the following solution: let’s run the report in a command that comes after the full build:

$ mvn clean install
$ mvn jacoco:report sonar:sonar

So here is my proposal to migrate your jacoco-example1 from native to XML format:

You just need to remove the “sonar.jacoco.reportPath” property and set the “jacoco.dataFile”.

Do not merge it, but can you confirm that it works for you?
