关于SonarQube LTS 6.7.2 SonarJava版本不符及更新的问询

Let me walk through the issues you're hitting and share what I've learned from working with SonarQube:

Confirming the Discrepancy #

• You’re spot-on about the plugin matrix vs. actual installed version: the official plugin matrix lists SonarJava 5.1.1 as the compatible version for SonarQube 6.7.2 LTS, but fresh installs of this LTS come with SonarJava 4.15.0.12310 by default.
• The Jacoco version gap is the critical pain point here—SonarJava 4.15 depends on Jacoco 0.7.9, while 5.1.1 upgrades to Jacoco 0.8.0, which is why this mismatch is blocking your workflow.

When Will 6.7.2 LTS Get the SonarJava 5.1.1 Update? #

SonarQube’s LTS branches typically receive critical plugin updates as part of patch releases, but there’s a catch:

• The 6.7.x LTS is an older branch (current supported LTS versions are 9.9.x and 8.9.x), so official update priority is focused on newer supported lines.
• There’s no public timeline for when SonarJava 5.1.1 will become the default for 6.7.2. That said, you can manually install SonarJava 5.1.1 on your 6.7.2 instance—it’s fully compatible with the 6.7.x LTS branch, and this will let you start using Jacoco 0.8.0 right away.

Fixing the Documentation Error #

Your request to correct the plugin matrix is completely valid. To get this addressed:

• Submit a bug report via SonarQube’s official channels (like their GitHub issues repository or support ticket system) detailing the mismatch: clearly state that the 6.7.2 LTS entry in the plugin matrix incorrectly lists SonarJava 5.1.1, while the default installed version is 4.15.
• Documentation issues like this are usually fixed in subsequent doc updates, especially when multiple users flag them, so your report will help get this sorted faster.
