Jenkins - Maven Project - SonarQube Analysis is UNSTABLE - ERROR: Unable to create symbol table for - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null

I am using Java 8 with apache-maven-3.6.3, sonarqube-7.0, sonar-scanner-cli-4.4.0.2170-windows and SonarJava version is 5.1 (build 13090) in Sonar Server
Jenkins 2.235.1
When I build my Jenkins Pipeline, I am facing an issue where my build is success but SonarQube Analysis is UNSTABLE
BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 01:18 min

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARN: Unable to locate 'report-task.txt' in the workspace. Did the SonarScanner succeeded?
SonarQube analysis completed: UNSTABLE
Finished: UNSTABLE
This is because I getting following error for every test file in my project:
ERROR: Unable to create symbol table for : QuickPayTest.java

Now its taking 2.19.1 but still error is coming. I have tried with different log4j version but not working.

Your build is effectively using Surefire 2.17:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.17:test
But you defined 2.19.1 as dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.19.1</version>
<type>maven-plugin</type>
</dependency>
Thus version 2.17 is actually running but 2.19.1 classes are on your classpath and used at runtime, obviously that is not compatible. New methods were added betwween 2.19 that were not present in 2.17.
You defined version 2.19.1 as plugins under pluginManagement, but it is not currently used in your build. If you want to use 2.19.1 in your current build your should use plugins and not pluginManagement. If you are not sure about the difference between pluginManagement and plugins, I strongly recommend you see the Maven doc
Putting maven-surefire-plugin config outside of pluginManagement and removing the dependency of type <type>maven-plugin</type> should to the trick.

Meanwhile I changed some parts of code in HibernateConfiguration.java:
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
dataSource.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/webstore");
dataSource.setUsername("root");
dataSource.setPassword("123456");
return dataSource;
}
Also I move the META-INF folder into src/main/resources, because in NetBeans classpath is different with Eclipse. My Netbeans version is 8.0 and mvn 5.

You should first build project stand alone without any ide to check all dependencies resolution and make sure works fine. For that simply set JAVA_HOME and MAVEN_HOME on the class path and build your project without any ide (Netbeans or Eclipse) with command (mvn clean compile package install) and it will resolve all your dependencies related problem and download required jars from central maven repository and on successful build jar will be created in target directory.

So far I have tried different versions of JDKs from 1.8u71 and 1.8u74, I have tried using the command ' -Dalpn-boot.version=YOUR_VERSION' after mvn install and after mvn exec:exec. I have also restarted this example project from scratch and have ended up with the same error.
Sadly I am still fairly new to all of this and have come to a stand still on how to deal with the error. Any help is appreciated.

the problem is a missing version in dependency but...
if i use maven 3.3.9 without fixing it builds ...
can someone help me to understand the reason?

Did you forget the version on one of your dependencies?
For artifact
{org.jboss.shrinkwrap.resolver:shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-maven:null:jar}:
The version cannot be empty.
I commented in the wrong post, sorry armadinho.
This might be it
- Disallow the programmatic injection of project dependencies MNG-5818.

Try adding version number in under dependency management.
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.shrinkwrap.resolver</groupId>
<artifactId>shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-maven</artifactId>
<!-- Try adding version here -->
<version>...</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
