Error While Analyzing - Version 1.2.3 / 1.2.4 (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 61)

[Balaavchandran]

Hello Team,

We have used SpotBugs IntelliJ Plugin latest version, 1.2.5 (SpotBugs 4.4.2) along with SonarQube FindBugs plugin version 4.2.6 (which supports SpotBugs version 4.8.2). In order to match the plugin version in SonarQube and IntelliJ IDE downgraded both the plugins -
SonarQube (FindBugs) to 4.0.4 and IntelliJ (SpotBugs) to 1.2.4 or 1.2.3.

After downgraded SonarQube FindBugs version (4.0.4), able to complete the analysis. But when we downgraded IntelliJ SpotBugs plugin version to to 1.2.4 or 1.2.3, always getting error, which is forcing to abort the analysis. Please help to resolve this

Note - added error image, which we got as part of IntelliJ analysis. please refer to that for details

Note - we were able to complete the analysis in 1.2.5
