Our Jenkins installation runs under 'Oracle JRE 1.6.0 build 24',
and the configured JDK in Jenkins is 'IBM J9 VM build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0'...

Problem remains in 1.417.

Once I set JDK of jobs to the same of the container,
those previously failed builds became stable...

But this is not a valid option in our case,
We MUST specify the JDK to fit our production environments.

Thank you for indicating a workaround.

We are also experiencing this problem, and this is a big problem for us too as we target 2 different JDK's.
The JDK's are targeted depending on the app server and it's underlying JDK (Websphere 6.1 and Websphere 7)

Same goes here for our AIX slaves using IBM JDK 1.6.
(Jenkins v1.419)

Creepy workaround is to use "Publish TestNG Results" (Plugin) rather than "Publish JUnit Results".

This also occurs on Jenkisn 1.423 running on Sun JDK 1.6.0_15, Slave on 1.6.0_26, Build Job running with IBM JDK 1.5.
Currently all IBM Builds are not working, so this is a blocking issue!

What about the workaround - I do not find a "Publish JUnit Results" in the job configuration which I could deactivate. Does this come with the testng-plugin (is this the testng-plugin on the jenkins page?)

I've also been hit with a similar error, also on AIX:

This happens for both 1.5 and 1.6 VMS from IBM

Robert, your problem is a different one, but similar cause. I'm going to fix it in the subversion plugin.
