Sonar error with API incompatibility for Absent Code attribute

One of my fellow developers created a new app the other day and now I can't get a good sonar collector. I've tried a number of documented workarounds / solutions for this type of no-code error but couldn't find the right combination. The project includes glass panes and jars embedded in a glass jar, which should provide an implementation for javax servlets. They are configured to scan the area.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.main.extras</groupId>
    <artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
    <version>4.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet</artifactId>
    <version>3.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

      

        
        
        
      

    

I tried this option too:

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <classpathDependencyExcludes>
            <!-- exclude code absent api -->                                    
            <classpathDependencyExclude>javax:javaee-api</classpathDependencyExclude>                                
            <classpathDependencyExclude>javax:javaee-web-api</classpathDependencyExclude>
        </classpathDependencyExcludes>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

      

        
        
        
      

    

This is a bug since Maven 3.0.4:

The pom project looks basically like another similar project that has no bug. However, it does have a warning:

Apr 20, 2017 4:52:16 PM net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.typeresolution.ClassTypeResolver visit
WARNING: Could not find class myBetterClass, due to: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/ws/rs/core/Application

      

        
        
        
      

    

I thought that providing a built-in glass fish jar should have solved this problem. (Maybe a new version of the glass fish is needed?)
