Specify JAVA_HOME for maven job with java 8 and sonar scan with Java 11 in jenkins

Question

I need to run my maven build with java 8 and sonarscan with java 11, but not sure how to do it in same job. When I am trying to build a job using java 8 in jenkins gui then sonar scan fails cz java 11 is missing to run and vise versa. Can you please suggest how to provide JAVA_HOME for both explicitly and where do we add it exactly in jenkins.

You can use Java 11 to create a build targeting Java 8. There is no need to explicitly use Java 8 for this. — Mark Rotteveel, Dec 02 '22 at 14:30

Setting multiple Java/JDK instances is very easy using a Jenkins build pipeline, which should be the preferred way over the pure GUI configuration.

For details see: How to select multiple JDK version in declarative pipeline Jenkins

we are using freestyle jobs, not sure where to add this explicitly. – AniK Dec 05 '22 at 10:46
