Sonar Runner not starting

Question

I am trying to configure Sonar 3.2 in my Windows 7 64 bit operating system with java 1.7.0_05.

When I start Sonar runner - 1.4, I am getting this exception

Exception in thread "main" org.sonar.batch.bootstrapper.BootstrapException: org.sonar.batch.bootstrapper.BootstrapException: Fail to download the file: http://localhost:9000/batch/hibernate-entitymanager-3.4.0.GA.jar

any solution to solve this issue is appreciated.

I am able to download hibernate-entitymanager-3.4.0.GA.jar from http://localhost:9000/batch/hibernate-entitymanager-3.4.0.GA.jar in the browser.

Answer 1

I see in your configuration details that you are running Sonar using a Java 7 VM: could you please try with Java 6?

That might not be the root cause, but I know we have users who reported some issues with Java 7.
