Sonar do not use the excludeFilterFile from the projects pom.xml

I have findbugs (and checkstyle) configured in my project pom.xml:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.3</version>
        <configuration>
            <xmlOutput>true</xmlOutput>
            <threshold>Normal</threshold>
            <effort>Max</effort>
            <debug>false</debug>
            <excludeFilterFile>${basedir}/src/test/config/findbugs-exclude.xml</excludeFilterFile>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.4</version>
        <configuration>
            <suppressionsLocation>${basedir}/src/test/config/checkstyle-surpressions.xml</suppressionsLocation>
            <testFailureIgnore>false</testFailureIgnore>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

    <!--.......-->
</plugins>

And this works like a charm. 'mvn site' produces finbugs report which correctly uses the specified excludeFileterFile.

The problem is when I try to use the sonar plugin. ('mvn sonar:sonar') Sonar do not use the exclude filter specified above. (But it will correctly use the checkstyle suppression file).

Info from console when running 'mvn sonar:sonar':

And the sonar-pom.xml in target/sonar directory:

        <skip>false</skip>  
            <includeFilterFile>{...edit...}\target\sonar\findbugs-include.xml</includeFilterFile>  
    </configuration>  
</plugin>  

Note that checkstyle in sonar-pom.xml referes to the file in the project configuration, but findbugs exclude file is dummy empty file from sonar.

Anyone know how to get sonar to use finbugs exclude file defined in the project pom.xml?

Thx in advance

Which sonar version do you use ? This issue should help you : http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONAR-1119

I think you can configure this on the serverside of sonar in the project settings for findbugs
