SonarQube 10.6/Plugin 1.22 Bug: Current edition does not support branch feature

[s123lin]

Describe the bug
I set up the community plugin (v 1.22.0) for my SonarQube server (v10.6.0) and I am running into an error when trying to use the sonar.branch.name=${BRANCH_NAME} in my sonar commandline.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I spun up an AWS EC2 instance with following image:
   bitnami-sonarqube-10.6.0-0-r02-linux-debian-12-x86_64-hvm-ebs-nami
2. I ssh into the instance in order to install the JAR file for the plugin into extensions/plugins/ directory. I downloaded sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-1.22.0.jar
3. I updated the conf/sonar.properties file with the following contents

sonar.web.javaAdditionalOpts=-javaagent:./extensions/plugins/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-1.22.0.jar=web
sonar.ce.javaAdditionalOpts=-javaagent:./extensions/plugins/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-1.22.0.jar=ce

4. I restarted the server with sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart
5. I go to the sonarqube server on my web browser and accepted the warning about third-party plugins.
6. In a AWS CodeBuild buildspec, I have a commandline to submit the project like so to the SonarQube server in the EC2 instance

      - |
        java -jar sonar-scanner-5.0.0.2966/lib/sonar-scanner-cli-5.0.0.2966.jar \
        -Dsonar.projectKey=${REPO_NAME} \
        -Dsonar.host.url=${SONAR_URL} \
        -Dsonar.login=${SONAR_USERNAME} \
        -Dsonar.password=${SONAR_PASSWORD} \
        -Dsonar.branch.name=${BRANCH_NAME} \
        -Dsonar.python.coverage.reportPaths=coverage.xml

Expected behavior
I expected no errors and that my project would show up in the server

Screenshots
Happy to share more, if needed. The error log says the following

Software Versions

• SonarQube Version: 10.6.0
• Plugin Version: 1.22.0
• Sonar Cli Version: 5.0.0.2966

Additional context
This was a brand new EC2 instance that I spun up with hopes of setting up a new SonarQube server. After I ran into that error, I proceeded to try the command line without the sonar.branch.name=${BRANCH_NAME}, and (not surprisingly) it works.

Can you retry this with the snapshot version available for download in the Artifcts section of https://github.com/mc1arke/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin/actions/runs/11872851541 ? This version is the build from #1000 and will prevent Sonarqube starting in the plugin isn't installed properly, which is what I think your issue is.
