I’m hitting a NullPointerException in RegexPatternsNeedlesslyCheck
which implements S4248, using SonarQube 7.4 and SonarJava 5.9.1 via the Gradle Plugin 2.6.2 (I’ve also been able to reproduce it with earlier versions of SonarJava, though the real project didn’t trigger until I upgraded last week):
