NPE thrown by org.sonar.batch.components.RemoteProfileLoader.load during local analysis

Upon attempting to perform Sonar analysis "Locally" the Eclipse plug-in fails with an NPE. I have searched sonar-user and sonar-dev for other reports of such an error but there were none.

• I'm using the Sonar plug-in version 2.3.0.20111209-1529.

• I'm using Eclipse 3.7.1.

• Stack trace...

An internal error occurred during: "Sonar Analysis".
