Hi Ann,
i’m a bit confused about the Java requirements for Sonarqube 8.x
Sonarqube server needs Java 11 to run since 7.9 LTS.
The most recent versions of Sonarqube Scanner for Ant and
Sonarqube Scanner for Jenkins have:
[sonar:sonar] SonarScanner will require Java 11 to run starting in SonarQube 8.x
[WARNING] SonarScanner will require Java 11+ to run starting in SonarQube 8.x
in their logs, but the analysis runs also with Java 8 and https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/requirements/requirements/ has
Java
SonarQube scanners require version 8 or 11 of the JVM and the SonarQube server requires version 11. Versions beyond Java 11 are not officially supported.
So it seems the proposed requirement Java11 for analysis has been canceled recently.
How long will Java 8 be sufficient for analysis ?
