I am getting an error when I run sonarqube on the terminal. Is there support for Java 1.8 version ??

MacBook-Pro android % ./gradlew sonarqube

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use ‘–warning-mode all’ to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

The error message is pretty clear:

> [@bhagvank](#):
>
> `requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8.`

You’ll need to update to Java 11 to run the analysis. You can still build with _or to_ Java 8 if you like. But you need to analyze with Java 11.
