Arquillian jacoco extension throws NullpointerException when using 'createFromZipFile'

I use the code below which results in a NullpointerException :
@Deployment
public static EnterpriseArchive createEARArchive() {

EnterpriseArchive ear = ShrinkWrap.createFromZipFile(EnterpriseArchive.class, new File("../dri.ear/target/dri.ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT.ear"));
ear.addAsManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");
return ear;

}

Full stacktrace

Using the configuration below, everything works fine. However, this is a relative simple application. I have several much more complex applications for which I would prefer the first configuration. :
@Deployment
public static Archive<?> createTestArchive() {

WebArchive war =
ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "test.war")
.addAsWebInfResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");

war.addAsLibrary(new File("../dri.ejb/target/dri.ejb-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"));

return war;
}
