Re: NullPointerException despite report being in the directory The problem here is that you're pointing an HTML report instead of an XML report:

[DependencyCheck] Unable to parse /var/jenkins_home/testws/results/dependency-check-report.html

Since the .html is all you have in your results directory, I guess you're specifying the --format HTML parameter. Try adding --format XML too, you'll get both output files, and then point your publisher to dependency-check-report.xml (and you can use the Publish HTML report plugin to publish the HTML too if you want). The NPE simply looks like an unfortunate side effect of this error.
