Excluding java files in sonar report through Jenki

Question

I am running sonar from Jenkins. I want to exclude some java files in the sonar report. Is that possible through Jenkins? If yes, how can I do that?

Answer 1

Assuming you are using jenkins sonar plugin, refer to this documentation on how to configure the plugin to specify additional parameters which allow files to be excluded from analysis.

Answer 2

1. Go to sonar section of your jenkins job.
2. Click on advanced.
3. In Additional properties put or add:
   -Dsonar.exclusions=com/company/packageA/generated/**/*.java,com/company/packageB/generated/**/*.java
4. Save changes.

Notice how multiple packages can be specified using commas.

Answer 3

Just pass the "sonar.exclusions" property to your build (for instance using a JVM argument "-Dsonar.exclusions=**/Foo.java").
