Can not get error resolved: Java 17 or more recent is required to run

[Spen (Sebastian Penhouet)]

At some point SonarLint stopped working for me. It always shows the following error in VS Code:

It does not seem to come with the JRE (as stated in the extension description).
There is now auto-install.

VS Code does not offer the option to install the required Java version for me.

I installed it manually. My WSL now has Java 17.

I did also set:

"sonarlint.ls.javaHome": "/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/bin/java"

as the extension description suggest, but VS Code marks this as unused setting.

I can not get this resolved. Any suggestion what I could try?

• Operating system: Windows 11 and running VS Code on WSL Ubuntu 20.04
• SonarLint plugin version: v4.1.0
• Programming language you’re coding in: Python
• Is connected mode used: Yes
  • Connected to SonarCloud or SonarQube (and which version): SonarCloud

Hi @vojtech.suchy,

yes, that was the issue. I didn’t know there is an independent settings.json for the WSL system. There was already a config for the java path but it was set to a wrong directory. That was probably causing the issue.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Sebastian
