Sonar version:5.6.7
windows 10-64bit
java version : jdk 14.0.2
Hey there.
SonarQube v5.6.7 is extremely old. Why are you trying too install this version instead of the current LTS (v7.9.5) or latest (v8.6) version?
Java 14 was just a dream back in 2016 when SonarQube v5.6 was released 
It runs on Java 8 only.
I have now used the 7.9,5 version and i am getting now this error. Any suggestion regarding this:
