Answer is very simple: "Runner" is the old name for "Scanner".

Everything you need to know about the different SonarQube Scanners is available on the Scanners part of the official documentation.

If you're stuck to Java 7, then you can use:

  • SonarQube Runner (sonar-runner) up to version 5.5 of SonarQube
  • SonarQube Scanner (sonar-scanner) 2.6.1
