This is the error message I see in the SonarCloud interface

The version of Java (1.8.0_275) you have used to run this analysis is deprecated and we will stop accepting it soon. Please update to at least Java 11. Read more here

This build doesn’t contain Java. The GitHub Action runner just happens to not have Java 11.
Do I need to worry?
If so what should I do?

Hi @Vincent-FundApps

Yes, by default GitHub (And Azure) windows agent still use JDK 8.

We will stop accepting analysis on this version of Java anytime soon, so i suggest that you setup your JAVA_HOME variable to target at least JDK 11 (which is already installed on the runner image)

- script: |
    echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=JAVA_HOME]$(JAVA_HOME_11_X64)"
    echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=PATH]$(JAVA_HOME_11_X64)\bin;$(PATH)"
  displayName: "Set java version"

HTH,

Thank you @mickaelcaro.

I believe the script you’ve provided only works for Azure DevOps.

For anyone trying to solve this easily for GitHub Actions I recommend this:

   - uses: actions/setup-java@v1
     with:
        java-version: '11.0.9'
        architecture: x64
