Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

which versions are you using (SonarQube Server / Community Build, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)

sonar-maven-plugin 3.11.0.3922
jdk1.8.0_391_x64
I cannot use a more recent JDK nor another version for sonar-maven-plugin. The versions allowed are my IT team’s decision.

how is SonarQube deployed: zip, Docker, Helm

what are you trying to achieve

I used sonar-maven-plugin 3.11.0.3922 on a java program which was compiled with jdk1.8.0_391_x64, but got the “sonar failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin”.

what have you tried so far to achieve this

I had tried this in pom.xml:

<properties>
<sonar.java.jdkHome>C:\APPS\Java\jdk1.8.0_391_x64</sonar.java.jdkHome>
</properties>

The full ERROR is:

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

This simply isn’t supported.

You can build with, or to, any version of Java you like. But you’re going to need to run analysis with Java 17.

 
HTH,
Ann

I have to use jdk1.8.0_391_x64 to build my Java programs.
Can sonar-maven-plugin 3.11.0.3922 run analysis with another version of Java for my jdk1.8.0_391_x64 build programs?
How to do that?
If not, what is the workaround?

Hi,

You need a Java 8 binary, but you don’t have to use Java 8 to get it. You can use a higher version of Java and build down to Java 8. (See the link in my previous response.)

 
HTH,
Ann

I can use sonar-maven-plugin 3.11.0.3922 to run analysis, right?

Which property to use to build down to Java 8?

6

Hi,

I sent you the link in my first reply.

I had tried this in pom.xml:

<properties>

<maven.compiler.target>8</maven.compiler.target>
<sonar.host.url>https://sonarqube-qa.apps.a01.p.o.a.c.net/</sonar.host.url>
</properties>

mvn sonar:sonar
