+    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 includes Java 8 and Java 11 runtimes to facilitate compilation.
+
+    In GitLab 15.0, we will:
+
+    - Remove Java 8 from the analyzer image to reduce the size of the image.
+    - Add Java 17 to the analyzer image to make it easier to compile with Java 17.
