I’m using  
gradle Gradle 6.6 (quite new)  
with following plugins section

plugins {  
java  
jacoco  
id (“org.sonarqube”) version “3.0”  
}

I don’t have any other configuration neither for sonar nor jacoco.  
But when I run  
./gradlew sonar

> Task :sonarqube  
> Property ‘sonar.jacoco.reportPath’ is deprecated (JaCoCo binary format). ‘sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths’ should be used instead (JaCoCo XML format).  
> Property ‘sonar.jacoco.reportPaths’ is deprecated (JaCoCo binary format). ‘sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths’ should be used instead (JaCoCo XML format).

Why is it using this deprecated path. I didn’t specify it.

- My SonarQube Version is 7.9.4 (build 35981)

**Edit:**

This is a bug, that was fixed in SonarJava 6.2. This version is available for 7.9, so you can either:

- Ignore the warnings
- Update your analyzer
