Hello, welcome to the community! And thanks for your question.

SonarLint won’t install nor run if Eclipse is started with a Java 6 VM. Recent versions of SonarLint require a Java 11+ runtime (as do recent Eclipse releases).

However, SonarLint is able to analyze Java 6 code, regardless of the underlying VM.

Thank you for your help. So to reconfirm, if my VM version is 11+, I would be able to execute Sonar lint on Java 6 code.

Yes, I confirm that as long as you run Eclipse with a 11+ VM, SonarLint will be able to analyze and give feedback on your Java 6 code :slight_smile:
