Retiring the magic `sonar:sonar` shorthand of the SonarScanner for Maven
On May 1st of 2026, we will officially drop support of the automatic relocation mechanism in SonarScanner for Maven. What does that mean for you? You will want to ensure that the version of the scanner you are using is explicitly set in your build configuration or in your
scanner invocation. In addition to preparing you for the deprecation, this should also help you manage the upgrades of the plugin at your desired schedule. For more information, please have a look at this community post.
