I’m setting up a Jenkins job to run SonarQube analysis on my Java project, but I’m encountering an issue with Java version compatibility.
Problem Details
In my Jenkins job log, I see the following error:
“Error: LinkageError occurred while loading main class org.sonarsource.scanner.cli.Main
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/sonarsource/scanner/cli/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0
What I Have Tried
I understand that class file version 61.0 corresponds to Java 17, but it seems like Jenkins is using an older Java version.
I tried setting the JDK in my SonarQube Scanner build configuration, but the dropdown is empty.
My Questions
1- How can I add Java 17 to Jenkins so that it appears in the JDK dropdown?
2- Are there additional steps required to configure Jenkins to use Java 17 for SonarQube analysis?
Thanks for any help on resolving this issue!
