Sonar Maven plugin - fail the build on violation

Question

Is there a way to configure Sonar or the Sonar Maven plugin to make a build fail when a violation of a certain priority (Blocker, Critical) is detected?

Answer 1

you have to define alert thresholds on the number of blocker/critical violations (>0 is your case) in quality profile and install the build breaker plugin (category "Integration" in Update Center of sonar 2.4).
