Resolving SonarLint Issues in Visual Studio Code with Java 11

If you're a developer utilizing SonarLint for static analysis in Visual Studio Code, you might have encountered some hurdles after upgrading your JDK version from Java 8 to Java 11. Many developers have reported issues where the SonarLint plugin fails to start properly, especially following a version upgrade. This guide will guide you through the steps to resolve these issues and help ensure a smooth development experience.

The Problem

After updating to Java 11, users have been facing the following error message when trying to run SonarLint:

This error arises because, unlike Java 8, Java 11 does not provide a tools.jar file that SonarLint relies on. Fortunately, there are ways to address this issue and successfully configure your development environment.

Solution Steps

1. Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

First and foremost, ensure that you're using a compatible Java Runtime Environment (JRE). SonarLint is compatible with either Java 8 or Java 11. If you already have a suitable JRE installed on your computer, SonarLint should automatically detect it. However, if it does not, we can manually configure it.

2. Configure the JRE Path

If SonarLint fails to find the JRE or you prefer to set up a specific installation, follow these steps to explicitly set the path where the JRE is installed:

Open your Visual Studio Code settings.

Add or edit the following configuration in your settings JSON file:

Note: If you are using Windows, remember to escape backslashes (). For macOS users, ensure the path includes the /Contents/Home directory, like so:

3. Additional Dependencies

Keep in mind that if your project includes JavaScript or TypeScript, SonarLint will also require Node.js in order to analyze these languages.

4. Language Support for Java

To ensure that SonarLint integrates properly with JDK 11, you’ll also need the Language support for Java extension installed in Visual Studio Code. Make sure you're using version 0.56.0 or higher.

5. Working with Other Languages

If you're working with Apex or PL/SQL, it's important to note that support for these languages is only available alongside SonarQube or SonarCloud. For Apex, you’ll need to install the Salesforce Extension Pack for Visual Studio Code.

Conclusion

Updating your Java version can sometimes lead to unexpected issues with plugins and extensions in Visual Studio Code. However, by following the steps outlined above, you can resolve SonarLint integration problems with Java 11. Ensuring that the correct JRE is set up and that essential extensions are installed will help maintain a productive development environment.
