Outdated Sonar-Java Version?

[florianrusch]

Hey everybody,

is this the right place for issues with the sonar-java plugin (https://docs.codeclimate.com/docs/sonar-java)?

I have several questions:

1. README.md outdated?
   The example config there shows almost engines instead of the plugins.
2. Are you guys still using sonar-java 4.14? The current version is 5.14.x.
3. In connection with the 2nd questions: Is it correct that I can't use sonar-java with java 11 code at the moment? If I set the configuration sonar.java.source: 11, I get this log message:

   D, [2019-09-20T06:08:25.777774 #1] DEBUG -- : engine stderr: INFO: Invalid java version (got "11.0"). The version will be ignored. Accepted formats are "1.X", or simply "X" (for instance: "1.5" or "5", "1.6" or "6", "1.7" or "7", etc.)
   

Hope someone can help! 🙂

@florianrusch we have updated our beta channel for version 5.14. Support for later versions will require more effort but it's in the queue.

Regards !

Hello,
any progress here? We currently have a project written in Java 11 (later planning an upgrade to Java 17 maybe even). Can we currently use sonar-java or are there still problems?

Support for JDK17 would be appreciated. :-)

I'm unable to use sonar-java from beta channel for our Java 11 sources.

ERROR: Unable to create symbol table for : '[path=/...]'

Is there any estimation for 6.x? As I can see, the issue was addressed more than two years ago
