@netoec84 Thanks for reporting this bug.
Could you please add the ruleset.xml here, that you tried to import? It seems, it uses "<exclude>EmptyCatchBlock</exclude>" somewhere which causes a problem. This rule is not anymore in the java-basic ruleset and should be excluded from java-empty ruleset.

[netoec84]

@adangel Thank you for reply.

Yes, exclude is include in xml file.

No work

<rule ref="rulesets/java/basic.xml">
<exclude name="EmptyCatchBlock"/>
</rule>

Work

<rule ref="rulesets/java/basic.xml">
</rule>

Maybe, you can add a control to catch the Exception.

Thank you.
