Compile and scan with another JDK version

SonarQube Server / Community Build
,

Most of our applications are still written in Java 8 and we use Gradle for compilation, analysis, etc.

To be able to do a sonar analysis, gradle must run with Java 11. To do this, we use this plugin Gradle - Plugin: org.sonarqube (version 4.4.1.3373)

It’s working very well except for certain projects which have code not compatible with Java 11. When we execute this command (gradle sonarqube), it first builds the application.

how to do a scan without buiding?

OK thanks,

Concretely, what should I do?

Here my gradle file :

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url = "http://w2016-nexus.fedris.be:8089/nexus/repository/maven-central/"
    }
    maven {
      url = "http://w2016-nexus.fedris.be:8089/nexus/repository/plugin-gradle/"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath("gradle.plugin.io.github.http-builder-ng:http-plugin:0.1.1")
    classpath("org.sonarsource.scanner.gradle:sonarqube-gradle-plugin:4.4.1.3373")
    classpath("org.cyclonedx:cyclonedx-gradle-plugin:1.7.4")
  }
}

apply plugin: 'org.sonarqube'

apply from: System.getenv('GRADLE_UTILS') + '\\fedris\\jenkins.gradle'
apply from: System.getenv('GRADLE_UTILS') + '\\fedris\\deployment.gradle'
apply from: System.getenv('GRADLE_UTILS') + '\\fedris\\fedriscommon.gradle'
apply from: System.getenv('GRADLE_UTILS') + '\\fedris\\version.gradle'

subprojects {
  apply plugin: 'java'

  dependencies {
    testCompile group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-test', version: "$springVersion"
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: "4.+"
  }
}

jar {
  enabled = false
}

sonarqube {
  properties {
    property "sonar.projectKey", "COR_letters_AYw1ioI6Ywl1aHNnSC6d"
  }
}

Thanks

Hey @morayke

Sorry for dropping this thread. I think I got hung up on some specifics of sonar.gradle.skipCompile and the notification got lost in the meantime

Just an update – with the latest version of the SonarScanner for Gradle (v5), the default behavior is such that running gradle sonar should not trigger a build (no sonar.gradle.skipCompile config to fiddle with), and it expects the build will have already been performed prior.

So it should be as simple as:

# Gradle build
gradle build ...
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java-17
gradle sonar ...
