How should I edit my pom.xml file to import my maven project to sonarqube?

I am using JDK 1.8 and Maven using Eclipse IDE. I want to analyze my project on SonarQube 6.6. Here is my pom.xml file:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

</project>
And this is the output with error:
(localhost:9000 is the default port for SonarQube and it is working fine. But the problem is I cannot import my maven project to sonar. If anyone finds the solution, please help.
Thank you.)

Looks like localhost resolves to the ipv6 adress, maybe sonarqube doesn't support that. What happens if you change http://localhost:9000 to http://127.0.0.1:9000?

Not able to get dependency check report in Maven

I am trying to get dependency check report for one of my Maven project but every time I am running:
mvn verify
dependency in dependency report shows no vulnerable JARs.
I have added below plugin in my POM to generate dependency check report:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-email</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>

<version>3.3.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
What do I need to correct or is there any other way? commons-email-1.1.jar have some vulnerabilities but still its not getting detected.
These are the Maven logs:

Provided you have access to the maven repository (at the time of executing this command) and installed mvn/mvnw , from the command-line, you can execute this line.
mvn org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:5.2.2:check
The "dependency-check-report.html" report will be generated in the target folder.

Out of interest i tried it and for me it is working:
<project>

dependency-check-maven tells me:

See the dependency-check report for more details.
How does your dependencies section look like? For Example if you define the scope test for commons-email no warning is shown.

Aspectj class is not found by test class when running test with maven

I have created a test for my aspectj class.
When I execute my test it works fine to "Run as TestNG" from Eclipse.
Then when I execute it in maven:
mvn clean test
I get the following error:

What am I missing here?
Why is the aspectj not compiled before the test case?
Is there a way to change this?
I used this example ( for the library part) to follow since I am creating a lib that should be used for other applications:
AspectJ: How to weave an aspect library into a Java project
TestClass:
/**
* Unit test to see if pointcut works as expected in ${#link DeprecatedMethodsAspect}
*/
public class DeprecatedMethodsAspectTest {
private DeprecatedMethodsAspect aspect;
private DeprecatedMethods deprecatedMethodsMock;
private DeprecatedMethodsApp app;
#BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws Exception {
app = new DeprecatedMethodsApp();
deprecatedMethodsMock = mock(DeprecatedMethods.class);
when(deprecatedMethodsMock.isActive()).thenReturn(true);
aspect = Aspects.aspectOf(DeprecatedMethodsAspect.class);
aspect.setDeprecatedMethods(deprecatedMethodsMock);
}
#Test
public void testSumIsMatched() throws Throwable {
app.sum(1, 2);
verify(deprecatedMethodsMock, times(1)).collect(any(JoinPoint.class));
}
#Test(description = " we should not gather information from methods annotated #Beta.")
public void testSubIsNotMatched() throws Throwable {
app.sub(2, 1);
verify(deprecatedMethodsMock, times(0)).collect(any(JoinPoint.class));
}
}

Thanks for any help.

i found the solution, what i do is to use classifier option instead of fileName in the spring-boot-maven-plugin and it works, this produces to me two nar files, one with the spring-boot application and the other with the .so library, now the problem is use them for run the application but this problem is independent of this thread.

Try adding version for your plugin for maven-jetty-plugin and see if that fixes the issue, as there is a warning that says:
[WARNING] 'build.plugins.plugin.version' for org.mortbay.jetty:maven-jetty-plugin is missing. # org.sonatype.mavenbook.multispring:simple-webapp:[unknown-version], /home/abigail/workspace/simple-parent/simple-webapp/pom.xml, line 46, column 21

For example:
<version>4.2.14</version>

can you try with the below plugin.
<plugin>

I had the same problem as you (using Java 8) and solved it by switching the version of the plugin to 2.2 from 2.0. If you try out newer version it appears to break again.
Wonder if there is a better way to solve such version issues than trial and error combined with extensive search engine usage.
