When I try to start the sonarqube version with JDK 21 getting error as below, and when the same is tried with JDK 17 its working fine.

Welcome :slight_smile:

documentation has only Java 17 in server installation requirerements

whereas for the Sonarqube analysis it has

A Java runtime environment:

  • Oracle JRE or OpenJDK.
  • Minimum version: Java 17.

Means it’s Java 17 for Sonarqube server and Java >= 17 for Sonarqube scanners.

But the documentation in this page shows it supports Java 21

https://portal.productboard.com/sonarsource/3-sonarqube/tabs/14-released-in-10-x

OK, you got that wrong.

this
https://portal.productboard.com/sonarsource/3-sonarqube/c/544-support-java-21

relates to the Sonar Java plugin being able to understand Java 21 syntax.
This has nothing to do with the Sonarqube server itself.

the initial answer did help – thanks for that

here is what i tried:

  • i tried a few versions of JDK 17 on my windows machine one by one.
    • openjdk 17 GA
    • openjdk 17.0.1
    • openjdk 17.0.2
    • openjdk 17.0.11
  • i tried setting system-environment-variable JAVA_HOME to the right version,
  • also set the JAVA_HOME/bin to the PATH variable
  • None of this was helping
  • i was still able to see this one in both sonar.log and es.log – it was picking up java 21 from Windows system (JRE)

so after doing some more research i added this variable in
conf/sonar.properties file 

sonar.java.command=C:/Program Files/Java/openlogic-openjdk-17.0.11+9-windows-x64/bin/java

i also added yet another windows system-environment-variables ES_JAVA_HOME and SONAR_JAVA_HOME and set them to jdk 17 – i saw the ES_JAVA_HOME variable in /elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-env file
after this change i was able to get sonarqube running

i can now access sonarqube on localhost:9099
the first run of sonarqube has created necessary tables under the sonarqube database in Postgres successfully

thank you all for responding to the post
