I am combining this plugin with the build timeout plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build-timeout+Plugin) and also the log parser plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Log+Parser+Plugin). Both of these plugins can cause the build to fail, however I dont consider this to be the fault of those plugins, if a build has failed, it is the job of this plugin to setup the retry. When it does, the build is retried correctly, but if the retry succeeds, they get built once more! If it helps, the second build has "Started due to previous failed build" printed twice on the build summary page.
