I\'m using SonarQube for code quality control and suddenly builds that would otherwise pass can\'t be analyzed and fails.

As kdowbecki mentionned it, this error is most likely due to an update of jacoco-maven-plugin.

Your SonarQube is most likely now using the new version of Jacoco Maven Plugin (probably the new 0.7.5.201505241946) but is actually trying to read an old version of a jacoco.exec (in your case it might be reading a jacoco.exec generated by jacoco maven plugin version 0.7.4.201502262128) which results in an incompatibility thrown by JaCoCo.

To fix this problem, you should make sure all your SonarQube/Jenkins jobs generate a JaCoCo report each time and do not rely on an older version of jacoco.exec that might have been generated by a previous job.
