SonarQube on Java8-project gives jacoco-Exception

Question

I just downloaded the latest version, SonarQube 4.3, then try build a java-8 project with:

  mvn clean install
  mvn sonar:sonar

That gives me the Exception below.

Googling, I got the impression this is an earlier issue that should have been fixed... ?

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARJAVA-482

Does SonarQube 4.3 support java-8?

Or any clue, what is the problem?

Answer 1

I got the missing info from the SonarQube mailing-list... To summarize:

To get Java8 maven-build working on SonarQube-4.3:

• Install sonarqube-4.3, and start the server.

• Login to the web-gui => Settings => Update Center => Plugins Updates => Java => Click "Upgrade to 2.2.1"

Wait a minute or so for the upgrade to complete... then shutdown+restart sonarqube. Go back into the Upgrade Center and verify you have plugin: Java 2.2.1

• To get code-coverage in Sonar, you now need to build with these commands:

  mvn clean org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:prepare-agent install 
  mvn sonar:sonar
  

Reference: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/JaCoCo+Plugin

That's it.

Answer 2

Here with java 11 I had this problem and I fix adding this in my gradle properties:

jacoco {
  toolVersion = "0.8.4"
}
