Hi guys, I am trying to write Jenkinsfile to build my java project. To speed up the build I need to check sonarscan and quality gate before running maven build command. I searched and couldn’t find any way to do that. ---

Hey there. For a proper analysis, you need to have built your Java project before analyzing it. What makes you think this will speed up the build? ---

I want sonar only scan code on gitlab before maven build jar file. If sonarqube scan code failed. Jenkins will skip step build jar file. ---

SonarQube relies on information from the build to perform a proper analysis, so I don’t think this is the right approach. ---

I want test, if there are many method to bypass the requirement binary file ? ---

Sure, you can run the normal `sonar-scanner` and simply set `sonar.java.binaries=.` (a dummy value), but again, this affects the quality of analysis results. ---

That issue is coming from [GitHub - spotbugs/sonar-findbugs: SpotBugs plugin for SonarQube](https://github.com/spotbugs/sonar-findbugs). You should either get in touch with the maintainer, or uninstall it.
