sonar XML plugin installation failure in jenkins

Question

Since I have tried it so many times, I can not figure out what's wrong.

I am getting the following error when I manually try to install sonar-xml-plugin-1.4.1.hpi plugin in jenkins:

Error:

Do i need to install any dependencies first?? or is it something else that I am missing?

Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks

You can try the SonarQube XML plugin. It is a plugin for SonarQube and should be installed on a SonarQube server, not on a Jenkins server.

I hope the above information would help you in resolving your query.
