I am upgrading my existing SonarQube 3.7.4 installation to the new LTS release 4.5.4.
I'd like to reuse my ruleset and I am using the sonarqube ant task (as before) to analyze my projects.
After upgrading the sonar installation and the ant task to 2.2 without changing anything else I'm getting a NoClassDefFoundError while executing the ant task:

Why does this happen? What I am doing wrong? Thank you.
There seem to be two problems showing up.
First, PMD doesn't handle the NoClassDefFoundError similar to ClassNotFoundException - I've created an issue for PMD here.
Second, Sonar doesn't seem to provide the complete project classpath to PMD. In order for PMD to be able to take advantage of typeresolution, PMD can be provided with an extra classpath (at the command line that's the auxclasspath option). Sonar creates the classpath in PmdExecutor's method "createClassloader", which uses a JavaResourceLocator which in turn uses JavaClasspath. This uses - in case of a maven project - the project's compile classpath, which should include the missing JPA dependency that you observe. For non-maven project, there seems to be a settings property, that you can use to add additional libraries to the classpath: sonar.java.libraries. I'd try to add the missing JPA dependency there.
