Trying to run sonar local analysis in eclipse indigo causes "Fail to copy table rules"-Error on Sonarqube 3.7-Server - eclipse

Question

After updating Sonar from Version 3.5.1 to 3.7 the local analysis in eclipse does not work anymore. An Upgrade from 3.7.0 to 3.7.2 didn't change the situation. The error-message in eclipse indigo (Sonar Java Analyser and Sonar m2e Connector version 3.2.0.20130627-1142-RELEASE) is:

In the sonar.log file on our sonar server I found the following stacktrace:

I tried to figure out what the problem is by looking at the sonar source code but without deeper knowledge what sonar wants to do I am not able to get an idea how to solve the problem. Does anyone have any hint?

Answer 1

I had this issue and it prevents Analysis from Eclipse (because Sonar create a H2 copy of database for dry run).
The issues was that I had twice the same user login in database, once I deleted one of them it works.
