Sonar 4.5.4 use sonar-java-plugin-2.4.jar , required method appear in sonar-java-plugin-4.4.jar - SonarSource/sonar-java@f9f6273

So we need to upgrade to higher LST release 5.6.4.
mapping should be updated too, as from 3.1 it has to use 5.6.4 as minimum.

upgraded to 5.6.4 sonar API in compile time.

but releases 3.1 - 3.3 works fine in 5.6.4 .
