Sonar, what is java target

Question

I get the following erro when running sonar:

[11:32:40]: [:sonarTask] 11:32:40.862 [QUIET] [system.out] INFO: EXECUTION FAILURE

[11:32:41]: [:sonarTask] 11:32:41.096 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.process.internal.DefaultExecHandle] Changing state to: FAILED

It has failed because java 1.6 is not compatible with the python plugin, but I need to keep this. My java source is 1.6 and it has to be this.

In my sonar properties I have the following:

sonar.java.source=1.6
sonar.java.target=1.6

What changes will I have to make? Change java target to 1.7? Is java target the java version used when running sonar?

You can still analyze code compiled with 1.6, but you'll have to use Java 7 or higher to run your analysis process.

Your properties are correct. Just upgrade the version of Java you run the analyzer with.

Can I not specify in sonar-runner.properties or sonar.properties on which java version to run? As upgrading it might cause problems for something else. – user3809938 Feb 05 '16 at 12:32
Think about it. By the time those properties are read, the process has already been started. – G. Ann - SonarSource Team Feb 05 '16 at 12:37
