SonarLint not able to scan Java files

ankurja · September 24, 2020, 11:25pm

Using SonarQube 7.9.1 LTS
SonarLint for Eclipse 4.1.0.201901311043
Java Code Quality and Security - 6.3.2 (build 22818)

Trying to run SonarLint analysis on a Java file but no results. Log shows that Java sensor is not being detected.

Is SonarLint version not compatible with Java sensor version? If not, how to downgrade Java sensor to last compatible version with SonarLint 4.1.0 ?

Hello, thank you for your question.

In Eclipse, SonarLint will enable the Java analyzer only if it can find JDT, the standard Eclipse support for Java, which might not be installed on the Eclipse flavor you use.

Which IDE are you using? Could you please clean your SonarLint console, trigger an update of the project binding, and post the generated log? This should allow us to confirm this hypothesis.

ankurja · September 25, 2020, 3:37pm

Using Rational Application Developer which is Eclipse based. No problem with JDT I believe, it was working fine till sometime back.

Here is the generated log, and it clearly shows the problem.
Where can I see the max SonarJava version compatible with SonarLint 4.1.0 ?

Hello,

May I ask why you don’t consider updating SonarLint? Version 4.1.0 is quite old now. If you want to benefit from all the newest rules of the Java analyzer, you should better try to use recent versions.

ankurja · September 28, 2020, 5:07pm

I do want to upgrade SonarLint eventually but I need to find the max version that is compatible with Eclipse Platform 4.7.3.v20180301-0715 (Oxygen) because that is what RAD is based on. Without knowing this, upgrade of SonarLint to just the recent version may not work as it might look for dependencies which may not be available with Eclipse Platform 4.7.3.

Is there a matrix available for version compatibility between SonarLint/Eclipse/SonarJava version ?

Julien_HENRY · September 28, 2020, 7:41pm

We don’t maintain a compatibility matrix of the past releases, since this is too hard to keep up to date.

On the Eclipse marketplace, you can see all versions of Eclipse we support, for the latest version of SonarLint.
Today we support Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) and later.

Then regarding connected mode, our strategy is to follow the SonarQube LTS lifecycle. If you are on a SonarQube LTS (7.9) the you should be fine. For analyzers it means we support the ones that were bundled with SonarQube 7.9, or more recent if you have upgraded them.
But in fact we are generally supporting much older versions versions. No promise on how long it will last, but as of today, the minimal version of the Java analyzer SonarLint can work with is 5.1.

Hope that helped.

Thanks, this was helpful. I was able to update SonarLint 4.1.0 to 5.3.0 on Eclipse 4.7 without any dependencies issues.
