Question

I am getting

Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file:/scratch/jenkins/workspace/sonar-test/target/jacoco.exec error

My pom profile is:

            </plugins>

What am I missing?

You need to add ${argLine} to surefire plugin configuration. Example:

        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
                    <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>0.7.1.201405082137</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>prepare-agent</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                        <execution>
                            <id>report</id>
                            <phase>prepare-package</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>report</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
                <plugin>
                    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.14.1</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <argLine>${argLine}</argLine>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>

If you want you can add other params to the surefire plugin like that:

<argLine>${argLine} -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m</argLine>
