Hello Java developers,

We upgraded the SonarCloud Java analyzer so that it can scan your Java 14 code. [Java 14](https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/14/) is available since March 2020 and some of you already adopted it and were expecting to scan their Java 14 code on SonarCloud. This is now possible without any change on your side.

_For SonarQube users, this will be included in SonarQube 8.5._  
_Java 14 preview features are not yet fully supported._

Hello Lorenzo,

No update will be provided for 7.9 LTS to enable scan of Java 14. You will have to upgrade to SQ 8.5 or wait the 8.x LTS if you have to stay on an LTS version.  
More details about why this is like this are available in [New language features now available exclusively in latest SonarQube versions](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/new-language-features-now-available-exclusively-in-latest-sonarqube-versions/30488).
