Found that the /api/rules/show of Sonar 4.2 returns a JSON response with 
"description" attribute and not "htmlDesc".
A simple check on null after trying get("htmlDesc") and if null try 
"description" will be provide compatibility for at least SonarQube 4.5 and 4.2 
on the "Show Rule Info" feature;
