Required Java version for plugins

Hello,

since 7.9 released, SonarQube depends on Java 11 as runtime.

Does this also apply to plugins?
The documentation still lists Java 8 as a requirement

Hi Markus,

All our Java codebase is still targeting Java 8 for the moment. Except if your plugin is 100% server side, I suggest you keep Java 8 compatibility for now, because many CI platform (running the scanner) are still using Java 8.
