Hi,

I am using Eclipse 2020-06 with SonarLint 5.3.0 plug in.

The error I am facing is that whenever I open a Java source or run the SonarLint analyze I always get the below error message. Can anybody help me? Thank you!!!

An internal error occurred during: "SonarLint processing file /common-classes/com/ford/eso/ecaps/core/common/constant/IConst.java".

Hello,

Welcome to the community and thanks for raising this issue!

I have never seen such an error. What JDK version are you using ? Do you have generated sources in your project ?

What would help us a lot is if you were able to send us a small project that reproduces the problem. Do you think it would be possible ?

Thanks
Damien

I am using Eclipse 2020-06 with not special configuration so I guess it is using the default JDK in my machine:
Y:>java -version
java version “1.8.0_151”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 8.0.5.7 - pwa6480sr5fp7-20171216_01(SR5 FP7))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.9, JRE 1.8.0 Windows 10 amd64-64 Compressed References 20171215_373586 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
OpenJ9 - 5aa401f
OMR - 101e793
IBM - b4a79bf)
JCL - 20171214_01 based on Oracle jdk8u151-b12

I tried with a very simple Java HelloWorld (attached) Hello.zip (1.4 KB) project and SonarLint returns the same error.

Thank you!

Changed the JDK to openjdk version “11.0.2” and the problem got fixed.

Thanks!
