Hi @fmcarvalho this plugin is not the maven one but the sonarqube plugin, it allows your coverage report to be digest by sonarqube e.g in order to see how the coverage evolves, you can install it using sonarqube marketplace:

Also, I think that the plugin you are searching for is located here : https://github.com/openclover/clover-maven-plugin
