Version of dependency-check used
The problem occurs using version 8.4.2 of the maven plugin.

[aikebah]

Spotted the same on my system as well... on the first update after upgrading to8.4.2.
It's related to the upgrade to JCSv3, but I did not spot it in subsequent runs (but have by now already fully purged my dependency-check data, as I wanted to check a case of too verbose logging, so can no longer validate locally).
Can you verify my assumption that this exception happens on first-run with a pre 8.4.2 datafolder, but is gone afterwards as by then the ODC data caches are properly readable the next time you run ODC?
