Go to the 'Build' section, click on 'Add build step' and choose 'Invoke Standalone Sonar Analysis':

Configure the Sonar analysis:

Properties	Description

Sonar Runner	Mandatory. Sonar Runner to use to launch the analysis. To manage Sonar Runners, see Configuring Sonar Jenkins Plugin.
Path to project properties	Optional. Relative path of the project properties file.
Project properties	Mandatory if 'Path to project properties' is not set. The properties of the Sonar analysis. The properties defined here will override the ones defined in the project properties file.

Triggering a Sonar Analysis with Maven

On a Maven job, go to the 'Post-build Actions' section and click on 'Add post-build action':

Then configure this post-build action:

Properties	Description
Sonar Installation	Mandatory. Sonar installation to use. To manage Sonar installations, see Configuring Sonar Jenkins Plugin.
Branch	Optional. `sonar.branch` property. See Analysis Parameters for more information.
Language	Mandatory. `sonar.language` property.
MAVEN_OPTS	Optional. To specify JVM options needed when launching Maven as an external process. See MAVEN_OPTS documentation . Shell-like environment variable expansions work in this field, by using the ${VARIABLE} syntax.
