I am getting
Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file:/scratch/jenkins/workspace/sonar-test/target/jacoco.exec error

What am I missing?
You need to add ${argLine} to surefire plugin configuration.
Example:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.7.1.201405082137</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>report</id>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>report</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.14.1</version>
<configuration>
<argLine>${argLine}</argLine>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
If you want you can add other params to the surefire plugin like that:
<argLine>${argLine} -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m</argLine>
Another reason for missing jacoco.exec
can be that there aren't any unit tests in project.
Edit:
I would like to know, why my answer was voted down since nobody left any reason in comments.
We had the same error message in project consisting of 3 sub-projects. One of them was new and without any tests - after adding one dummy unit test error was gone.
