SQ won't start after update via marketplace

[ambassador86]

Sonar version: 8.9.1.44547
Checkstyle sonar plugin version: 9.0.1

Steps to reproduce or description of problem:
I tried to update the plugin via marketplace. As suggested it downloaded 9.1. During the restart the plugin cannot be loaded with the following error message:

2021.12.08 16:28:51 ERROR web[][o.s.s.p.PlatformImpl] Web server startup failed: Plugin Checkstyle [checkstyle] requires at least SonarQube 8.9.3.48735

I assume the was introduced in 9cdeb50 here https://github.com/checkstyle/sonar-checkstyle/blame/master/pom.xml#L97

Maybe the check in the marketplace compoment of SQ is not precise enough to prevent an update which renders the server unuseable.

yes, this is due to this upgrade to the latest lts. i‘ll have a look at this with the next CS upgrade the coming week.

i‘ll have to check if using a 9.1.0.x version is sufficient and compatible or whether we need to cleaner define the version boundaries for the marketplace when releasing the plugin.

the fix is merged with 9.2.1.

the PR to the marketplace release is here: SonarSource/sonar-update-center-properties#264 ; once merged, the update via marketplace will be possible.
