The problem could be that Sonar is exporting your ruleset for v4.x format and your Eclipse plugin expects them in v5.x format.

Try changing your rules from:

<rule ref="rulesets/basic.xml/UnusedNullCheckInEquals">
    <priority>3</priority>
</rule>

to

<rule ref="rulesets/java/basic.xml/UnusedNullCheckInEquals">
    <priority>3</priority>
</rule>

Please note the ref attribute. A simple find and replace all will work out fine for you.
