Issue running cobertura with sonar - jenkins

Question

While running cobertura with sonar (plugins installed in jenkins), i get the below error. The snippet in pom, error and other details are below. Can anyone please help on ? Thanks in advance.
Maven version is 3.0.4.
After googling around got the solution to add the dependency in pom . Still it did not work
The goal used is clean install -U cobertura:cobertura sonar:sonar

It looks like, some tests are taking some time / hung for a while. It's a random failure.
In case you wanna proceed with the sonar analysis use this option
-Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true
This should ignore the failures and show you the results. Let me tell you in advance, that this is gonna help only for the seeing the analysis for the passed tests.
Just a thing, I had the same problem earlier. We found out that, it was something to do with the redis caching. We fixed it and it worked like a charm, then we removed the option which I've mentioned above.
