body: | # (required) Do not modify this line, instead modify the lines below.
|
|
The [GitLab SAST SpotBugs analyzer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/spotbugs) scans [Java, Scala, Groovy, and Kotlin code](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/#supported-languages-and-frameworks) for security vulnerabilities.
|
|
For technical reasons, the analyzer must first compile the code before scanning.
|
|
Unless you use the [pre-compilation strategy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/#pre-compilation), the analyzer attempts to automatically compile your project's code.
|
|
|
|
In GitLab versions prior to 15.0, the analyzer image included Java 8 and Java 11 runtimes to facilitate compilation.
|
|
|
|
As of GitLab 15.0, we've:
|
|
|
|
- Removed Java 8 from the analyzer image to reduce the size of the image.
|
|
- Added Java 17 to the analyzer image to make it easier to compile with Java 17.
|
|
- Changed the default Java version from Java 8 to Java 17.
|
|
|
|
If you rely on Java 8 being present in the analyzer environment, you must take action as detailed in the [deprecation issue for this change](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/352549#breaking-change).
