Sonar plugin and missing dependencies, 3.5RC1 breaks sonar plugin

Two items both for Sonartype. With version 2.2.1 and Gradle 3.4.1 I get a ton of “No Class Found” warnings.

Class not found: javax.annotation.Nullable
Class not found: com.google.errorprone.annotations.CanIgnoreReturnValue
Class not found: com.google.errorprone.annotations.concurrent.LazyInit
Class not found: com.google.j2objc.annotations.RetainedWith
Class not found: com.google.errorprone.annotations.CompatibleWith

I tried looking for a configuration section where I can add the transient dependencies since I don’t want them in my compile or runtime dep list however I cannot seem to find one. There is a sonar.java.libraries but according to the documentation that’s a directory of jars and not a classpath.

Secondly with 3.5RC-1 sonar plugin seems to break:

$ ./gradlew sonar
Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)
Parallel execution is an incubating feature.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
org/gradle/listener/ActionBroadcast
> org.gradle.listener.ActionBroadcast

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

$ ./gradlew sonar -s
