_(I understand that this might be better ask on a CodeNarc-specific forum, but as this is being used through the plugin, I thought I would start here)._

I am seeing the following issue when running CodeNarc tasks from Gradle:

Executing task ‘:dsl:codenarcMain’ due to:

No history is available. Loaded properties file in 155ms; 305 rules Loading ruleset from [file:/scratch/jenkins/workspace/Groovy\_VFS\_DSL\_Trunk\_Java8\_lambdas/config/codenarc/codenarc.xml] Loading ruleset from [rulesets/naming.xml] Loading ruleset from [rulesets/size.xml] Loading ruleset from [rulesets/groovyism.xml] RuleSet configuration properties file [codenarc.properties] not found. Analysis time=13413ms :dsl:codenarcMain FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

- What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ‘:dsl:codenarcMain’.

java.util.MissingResourceException: Can’t find bundle for base name codenarc-base-messages, locale en\_US

I can supply the full stacktrace if someones needs more info

I have similar problem with OpenJDK 1.7.0.25 when try to build Gradle from Git. It works fine with Oracle Java 1.7.0.21.
