Objective: Get Maven to publish sonar results to running Sonar server Steps:
- Installed and ran Sonar, accessible from browser - The back-end database is Oracle - Installed and configured Maven in settings.xml file to connect to the Oracle db - Invoked: mvn clean install -DSkipTests=true - Invoke: mvn sonar:sonar But getting following mvn sonar:sonar Fail to connect to database: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver' So I need somehow to put the ojdbc6.jar on Maven classpath. Tried placing the ojdbc6.jar in /lib and lib/ext but did not help. Am I missing something here? please help. To fix this I modified *maven113home/bin/mvn*.bat at line 161 and added %MAVEN_JAVA_EXE% %MAVEN_OPTS% -classpath path/to/ojdbc6.jar;... *Which is nasty!* Please suggest a better approach.
