SonarQube Java plugin 3.7 analysis error

Question

Iv'e recently upgraded to SonarQube 5.2 (and Java plugin 3.7) and I am getting the following error during analysis of my project.

I've removed the class file name, but it's a non-static, private inner class.

The analysis works with Java plugin versions 3.5 an 3.6. It only fails against 3.7

Can anyone help? I'm happy to share the source/bytecode privately.

This regression was introduced in sonar-java-plugin version 3.7, it is going to be fixed in version 3.8. Related ticket: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARJAVA-1360
