SonarLint（IntelliJ Idea）无法更新绑定：最低要求的版本错误

Question

I haven't been able to update SonarLint's rules from the organization's SonarQube Server for a while now. It was working perfectly, but suddenly I started to get the following message:

I'm guessing that maybe the SonarQube server was updated to a newer version (currently it is Version 5.6), but how do I upgrade my local plugin version to match it? (if that was what this error means).
I waited for the plugin to release another update (v2.9) and hoped that would do the trick, but it didn't, same result.

I found this page, where it says that for SonarQube 5.6+, I should be using the most recent SonarJava 4.7.1 plugin, but don't know how to say my SonarLint plugin (version 2.9.0.1816) to use that. https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/SonarJava

I would appreciate any help, thanks!

Current environment:
SonarQube Server: 5.6
IntelliJ Idea: 2017.1
IntelliJ SonarLint: 2.9.0.1816

You're using the SonarLint Connected Mode , so the code analyzers (SonarQube Plugins) used are the ones installed on the SonarQube server. The error message here means that, on the SonarQube server , you must upgrade SonarJava to at least v4.0, and a better choice would actually be the latest version altogether.
