Error COBERTURA in SONAR - maven

Question

THere are some posts in regards to Sonar/Cobertura but my issue is specific to an error in corbertura plugin. Given below is the error I am getting. I suspect a corbertura library error. Not sure if that is what it is. Any help is appreciated.
Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:java (default) on project maple-common: An exception occured while executing the Java class. null: InvocationTargetException: net.sourceforge.cobertura.coveragedata.ProjectData.getGlobalProjectData()
