sonarqube sonarscanner for java repos

Question

I am setting up sonarqube scans for different repos in my distributed systems application. Some of these repos are in javascript and python, while others are in Java Maven. I started off using the Maven plugin scan for the Java repos, but had to generalize with the sonarscanner for the javascript and python repos. Is it possible for me to set up the Java Maven scans to use sonarscanner as well? I am having some trouble setting up this scan and most of the examples and documentation I can find points me back to just using the Maven sonarqube scan.
