Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Your error message indicates that Java 8 is being invoked for analysis (ref):

It’s likely that you have Maven directly pointed to Java 8 or that there’s a $JAVA_HOME variable in your environment pointing to Java 8.

Thank you for your reply.
What’s the proper way to have Maven point to right location? we had a java 11 installed on build server, set
<sonar.java.jdkHome> ${SONARQUBE_JAVA_HOME} </sonar.java.jdkHome> in pom.xml Maven, and configurated to that location in Maven, but it seems it didn’t work.

Thank you

Holly

Hi Holly,

By the time that value is read in your POM, Java has already been invoked and is already running. :slightly_smiling_face: Try setting a $JAVA_HOME environment variable.
