Hey @Roopali,

This version is quite outdated, the newest one is 11.28.0.84542. Can you please update and check if the issues still happens?

If it happens, can you please provide some info on what you were doing roughly at this point? Like saving a file, switching branches, etc. If you can’t recall and would rather say this is happening randomly or regularly, please provide as much info as possible. Also, please always provide the full logs.

This error is quite verbose, also showing the line number and the rough text range on where the issue is happening, meaning what actual issue reported by the Analyzer was not correctly handled by the Eclipse plug-in.
As you said that you did not mark the issue as resolved, did you do anything else to that issue? Like right clicking on it and from the context menu disabling the rule or something like this?

Just for reference for the folks at Sonar, this issue must happen somewhere in HERE.

Additionally, can you please provide some information of where in the Eclipse project the file is located (like the path) and where on the SonarQube Server, like what path it is? The integration with IBM IDz was implemented by IBM themselves, and the SonarQube for IDE plug-in relies on the information provided by the integration to match the local file with the remote file path.

Cheers :glass_of_milk:
