Description

Hi, 
Thanks for your time.    I'm trying to integrate sonarqube on a complex, old gradle project structure.   We have 450 subprojects, and it gets more complicated, I'll save that for now, it may not be important, the basic structure is.

project
-master
-subprojecttype
--subprojectinstance1
...
--subprojectinstance450

 

./gradlew tasks --debug  | grep -A5  sonarqub

 

2022-03-03T09:46:20.487-0400 [ERROR] [system.err] WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
2022-03-03T09:46:20.487-0400 [ERROR] [system.err] WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.CachedClass (file:/Users/[e-mail]/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-6.8.1-bin/a3ijn718agivfn4m4c5tfgx2i/gradle-6.8.1/lib/groovy-all-1.3-2.5.12.jar) to method java.util.AbstractCollection.finishToArray(java.lang.Object[],java.util.Iterator)

2022-03-03T09:46:20.488-0400 [ERROR] [system.err] WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release

 

I think this error is causing sonarqube to die silently, the task never gets added to our build.   

Any assistance, comments or suggestions are welcome.
