Hi,

Currently, when running sonar analysis using sonar-maven-plugin 3.9.0.2155 in maven 3.8.3 and JDK 17 (AWS Corretto) we get the following error

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.9.0.2155:sonar (default-cli) on project exchange-service: Execution default-cli of goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.9.0.2155:sonar failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.9.0.2155:sonar: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null

Would it be possible to support Java 17 in the sonar maven plugin?

Thanks

Hi @davidmelia ,

I’ve tried to analyze a project locally with mvn 3.8.3, openjdk version "17" 2021-09-14, sonar-maven-plugin 3.9.0.2155, and SonarQube 9.1 without any issue. Could you try locally and give a bit more details to help reproduce the issue?

@mpaladin and in the current LTS version ? Do you plan to include the Java17 support ? If not when will be the next LTS version with Java17 support ?
Thanks in advance for your feedbacks :wink:

Thanks @mpaladin

I can confirm that this is a problem only when using SonarQube Server 7.9.1 and after upgrading to SonarQube Server 9.1 the problem is solved.

I didn’t realise there was a relationship from the server to the maven plugin which could cause this type of issue.

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:
