Problems with animal-sniffer/jdk8-compliance:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.9.1.2184:sonar (default-cli) on project apache-rat-project: Execution default-cli of goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.9.1.2184:sonar failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.9.1.2184:sonar: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/sonar/batch/bootstrapper/EnvironmentInformation has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

Looks simple. Is there any reason not to merge this?

This cannot be merged as long as Sonar's plugin is not compiled with Java8 as it breaks our "JDK-8-only animal sniffer check" OR
we decide to drop our hard-JDK8-compliance.

[Claudenw]

We could compile under multiple JDKs 8 and 20 for example. We should be dropping 8 in the next couple of years.

Now that we are testing under multiple JVM versions it should be possible to add the SonarCloud under a profile that runs when the JVM is not Java8. At least I think this is possible.
