Supported Java build tools

Several Klocwork commands can integrate with your Java build, capturing all of the information it needs to provide a centralized view of the entire code stream. You must use Java 7 or later, and you must use a javac from the Java Development Kit (JDK). The supported Java build tools and versions are as follows:

For Gradle projects, Java runtime requirements vary by Gradle version. For details, see the Gradle support table after the main tool table.

Klocwork Command	Java Build Tool	Supported Version
kwant	ant	1.8.2 to 1.10.17
kwmaven	mvn	3.0 to 3.9.16
kwgradle	gradle	3.x to 9.7.1
kwgradlew	gradlew	3.x to 9.7.1

The supported Gradle and JDK combinations for kwgradle and kwgradlew are as follows:

Gradle version	Minimum JDK	Notes
3.x - 6.x	Java 8+	Baseline version support
7.x - 8.x	Java 8+	Java 11+ recommended for Gradle 8
9.x	Java 17+	Required due to Gradle 9 runtime requirements
