SonarQube Runner throws NullPointerException during analysis - nullpointerexception

Question

UPDATE:
I am running it on Fedora 21.
SonarQube - 5.0.
SonarQube Runner - 2.4
UPDATE2: Findbugs v3.1, Java Plugin v2.8
UPDATE3:
Analyzer fails on the following file:
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class MyManager extends ParentManager {
public MyManager(int id, int var1, int var2, int var3) {
super(id, var1, var2, var3);
}
public void load() {
Connection con = null;
Statement st;
ResultSet res;
try {
con = DatabaseManager.getDataSource().getConnection();
st = con.createStatement();
int currentId = 0;
CurrentData currentData= null;
res = st.executeQuery("SELECT subjects.subjectname" + " AS name, " +
" subjects.subjectcode AS code, " +
" groups.groupname AS gname, " +
" groups.groupID AS gID , " +
" subjects.sID AS sID, " +
" groups.isMain AS ismain " +
" FROM joinGroup LEFT JOIN groups ON joinGroup.groupID=groups.groupID " +
" LEFT JOIN subjects ON subjects.sID=groups.sID " +
" WHERE joinGroup.sID=" + id + " " +
" AND groups.var1" + var1 + " AND groups.var2=" + var2 + " " +
" ORDER BY name, subjects.subjectcode, subjects.sID ");
while (res.next()) {
if (currentId != res.getInt("sID")) {
currentData = new CurrentData();
data.subjects.add(currentData);
currentData.subjectName = res.getString("name");
currentData.subjectID = res.getInt("sID");
}
CurrentGroupData groupData = new CurrentGroupData();
groupData.name = res.getString("gname");
groupData.id = res.getInt("gID");
currentId = res.getInt("sID");
if (res.getBoolean("ismain")) {
assert currentData != null;
currentData.groupID = res.getInt("gID");
}
if (currentData != null) {
currentData.groups.add(groupData);
}
}
loadSubjectsData(st, res);
} catch (Exception exc) {
Log.writeLog(ex);
} finally {
try {
con.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
Log.writeLog(e);
}
}
}
}
I have installed SonarQube following the tutorials on sonar website.
I am able to browse to localhost:9000 and it shows start page.
Then I try to analyze the project via command: sonar-runner.
It fails.
Running sonar-runner -X displays the following:

Didn't do anything "exotic", just followed the official tutorials like this one:
http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Runner
I am running it locally.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Answer 1

I got similar problem with ReturnEmptyArrayyNotNullCheck. As a workaround I disabled that rule in sonarqube web gui.
Log in as an admin. Click Rules in the top menu. Search for SQL or Inject or whatever other word to find the rule you think is causing analysis failures. Then select the rule and disable it in the quality profile attached to your project. Of course this rule will be ignored totally in all attached projects.

Answer 2

I got no solution, but ran into the same problem and and found this reference on sonar website, could it be the same problem you have?
