I was also getting the same exception. I tried the following steps to resolve it:

In Eclipse> Project > Clean. (The Exception remained)

I ran another project(The testng.xml ran successfully)

After running another project, I ran the project during which I was obtaining the Exception, and fortuitously it worked for me, with no errors.
