Unable to install sonarlint plugin

I’m getting errors when trying to install sonarlint on my eclipse.
Since we’re behind corporate proxy and we might have SSL issues, I’ve tried installing the sonarlint plugin through an update site archive:
https://binaries.sonarsource.com/SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/org.sonarlint.eclipse.site-4.1.0.201901311043.zip

I’m getting the error:
"‘Installing Software’ has encountered a problem.

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed."

During the installation.

Hi,

You might be able to find more detailed logs somewhere (either in workspace log file, or in Eclipse error view). Is the zip corrupted by your proxy maybe?

Here is the detailed error.

How can I know if the zip file is corrupted by the proxy? If that’s the case, what can I do?

To me it doesn’t look like a corruption of the zip. Could be your antivirus software preventing the installation. Also, can you tell us the version of Eclipse (and JDK) you are using?

Indigo Service Release 1 and jdk1.6.0_35

SonarLint requires java 8+ as a runtime. Regarding the Eclipse version, we may support Luna (4.4) and later, but our automated test suite is only testing Neon (4.6) and later.

So your setup is definitely too old to use SonarLint, sorry.

Thank you so much, Julien.

I will re-install eclipse and java to be compatible with sonarlint. Will get back to you for any further concerns.

Can you please send a reference that SonarLint is only compatible with these eclipse and java versions.
