getting NoClassDefFoundError on sonar-runner

Question

I am getting the following NoClassDefFoundError exception when I am trying to run sonnar (using sonar-runner). I have followed the configuration instructions and all classpath settings are correct. Any help is appreciated!

Here's the stacktrace:

There are chances that some Logback JARs are corrupted.

You can try to delete ~/.sonar (the SonarQube local repo) and see if this works.

If it does not, your install of SonarQube may contain a corrupted JAR. In that case you'd better download SonarQube again and reinstall it.
