AEM 6.5 integration with SonarQube

[subrahmanyamj]

Hello Community Team,

Since long time we were using SonarQube for Code Quality check and coverage for our AEM projects. But recent versions of SonarQube (v17 and above) have upgraded to provide support for Java 17+ and it is not backward compatible.

Since, AEM 6.5 is compatible with Java 11 only does not support the latest versions of Java, is there any way in which we can integrate with SonarQube latest versions.

If there are no workaround for this problem, please suggest if there are any better alternatives to SonarQube.

FYI: We are using AEM 6.5 OnPrem version and we tried downgrading SonarQube, but we are always forced to move to latest version of Sonar.

Hi, 

Can you elaborate more on the issue? Are you trying to install SonarQube on the same server where AEM lives? Ideally, you should not do that, if possible, I would consider using the cloud version of instead: https://www.sonarsource.com/plans-and-pricing/sonarcloud/ 

Hope this helps.
