Java 17 analysis on SQ 8.9

Good afternoon. We are using Sonarqube 8.9 Developer Edition, and we are having a lot of complaints about Java17 projects. There are no analysers for this Java version. On the other hand, if we update to Sonarqube 9.9 we loose analysis support for Java 8 projects.
I was also trying to check if plugins were developed that cover Java17 in version 8.9, but only Java18. Do you have a suggestion on how to solve this problem?
Kindest regards, Luis.

Hey there.

SonarQube v9.9 supports analyzing Java 8 projects, it just requires that Java 11 or 17 be used to run the analysis portion. This is outlined in the Scanner Environment documentation.
