Add support for Sonarqube 26.1 by mc1arke · Pull Request #1189 · mc1arke/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin

mc1arke · 2026-01-25T12:47:57Z

Upgrades the plugin to use Sonarqube 26.1 components. As this version of
Sonarqube requires Java 21, the build image has been upgraded to use
Java 21, and the plugin updated to fix deprecation warnings from the
upgrade and to use Java 21 features.

Pull request overview

This PR upgrades the plugin to support Sonarqube 26.1, which requires Java 21. The changes include updating the Java version from 17 to 21 across build configurations, migrating from deprecated org.apache.commons.lang to org.apache.commons.lang3, replacing URL with URI in test code, and modernizing code to use Java 21 features like pattern matching in switch expressions.

Changes:

Updated Java version from 17 to 21 in build configurations and CI workflows
Migrated from org.apache.commons.lang to org.apache.commons.lang3
Modernized Java code to use switch expressions with pattern matching
Updated copyright years to 2026 across multiple files

The paths have been changed to absolute paths starting with /opt/sonarqube/ instead of relative paths starting with ./. Verify that the working directory during execution is not /opt/sonarqube, as this would make the absolute paths incorrect. If the container runs from a different directory, these absolute paths may fail to locate the plugin JAR.

When using this plugin compiled with Java 21, scans executed from Maven at Java 17 fail with:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:4.0.0.4121:sonar (default-cli) on project xyz:
Error creating bean with name 'org.sonarsource.scanner.api.internal.IsolatedClassloader@30ef7b94-org.sonar.scanner.bootstrap.ScannerPluginRepository':
The plugin [communityBranchPlugin] does not support Java 17.0.17: com/github/mc1arke/sonarqube/plugin/CommunityBranchPluginBootstrap has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 61.0

E.g. the plugin code directly plays some role in the scanner run and when compiled with Java 21, scanner also needs to run at Java 21. Can this plugin be improved in this regard?

As per SonarSource, Java 17 can be still used at the client side (scanners), it's only deprecated. Only server side requires Java 21 now.
https://community.sonarsource.com/t/sonarqube-community-build-26-1-0-118079-released/172488
https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/scanners/scanner-environment/general-requirements#java-runtime-environment-jre

For now I've recompiled the plugin with Java 17 using Sonar server 25.12 libraries as compilation fails with Java 17 & 26.1 server libraries. It works well so far.

When using this plugin compiled with Java 21, scans executed from Maven at Java 17 fail

Thanks for the feedback. There's nothing in the plugin that requires Java 21, so I'll rollback the Java 21 part of the changes to retain Java 17 for now.

I built this repo locally using JDK 21 and copy .jar generated. I updated my compose.yaml, but when I running my pipeline generate this error:

There are some recommendation?

mc1arke · 2026-01-29T17:09:38Z

The class that's mentioned in the stacktrace has been updated to the lang3 StringUtils, so I wouldn't expect it to be looking for the lang version. Can you check you've cleaned the project fully before your build?

feliperodrigorech · 2026-01-29T17:26:53Z

It's working now.

feliperodrigorech · 2026-01-30T23:05:34Z

I have another question.

I have the same problem this link when running my pipeline.
https://community.sonarsource.com/t/sonarqube-quality-gate-stuck-on-waiting-status/112453

It's limitation by SonarQube or problem with configuration in my devops or limitation this pluging?

Thank you for your attention!

mc1arke · 2026-01-31T08:38:41Z

It's limitation by SonarQube or problem with configuration in my devops or limitation this plugin?

I think this is a problem with your configuration, but without some replication steps I can't confirm that.

Upgrades the plugin to use Sonarqube 26.1 back-end and front-end. Whilst server-side is built using Java 21 for this version of Sonarqube, scanner-side still support Java 17, so the project is being kept on Java 17 compilation target for now.
