I am running Jenkins 1.486 on an OpenSUSE linux with various plugins (see attached System_Info.pdf for full list). I have 2 Windows slaves attached on which I run FLEX build/analysis/unit-test/flexcover. For the static analysis, I use FlexPMD which produces pmd.xml and cpd.xml files. Whenever I try to publish either of these files, I get an exception with basically the same stack trace in either case. It does not matter if I use one, or the other (or both), I get a build failure because of the exception. When I do not use either, the build is successful.

I am using the DRY (v2.33) publisher and PMD (v3.33) publisher plugins, with the analysis-collector (v1.34) and analysis-core (v1.48).

The DRY publisher plugin gives the following error
[DRY] Collecting duplicate code analysis files...
ERROR: Publisher hudson.plugins.dry.DryPublisher aborted due to exception

The PMD publisher plugin gives the following error
[PMD] Collecting PMD analysis files...
ERROR: Publisher hudson.plugins.pmd.PmdPublisher aborted due to exception

The following stack trace follows either error:
[DRY] Collecting duplicate code analysis files...
ERROR: Publisher hudson.plugins.dry.DryPublisher aborted due to exception

[PMD] Collecting PMD analysis files...
ERROR: Publisher hudson.plugins.pmd.PmdPublisher aborted due to exception
