ANY UPDATE ON THIS, THIS IS CAUSING RELEASE BUILD ERRORS......PLEASE PROVIDE THE SOLUTION. THANKS!

First off, ALL CAPS TEXT IS CONSIDERED YELLING so stop that. Besides, it's both more difficult to read and unprofessional, making you look like a 12 year old.

Second, you should read and follow the advice of https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/How+to+report+an+issue because this report doesn't contain nearly enough information to investigate further. In fact, the little information it contains is partially wrong (Flowdock Plugin and Plugin Usage Plugin have absolutely nothing to do with your problem), which means it's your own fault nobody cares. You addressed the report to completely wrong components.

Third, everyone handling these reports is an unpaid volunteer working in their spare time and under no obligation to do anything. This, combined with the previous two points means that it's unlikely you'll get help here.

There are companies providing paid support for Jenkins (e.g. CloudBees when buying a Jenkins Enterprise subscription). Consider going that route to get guaranteed response times.

+1 regarding Daniel's comments

Regarding the issue...
Probably, it's a bug in remoting layer. Seems the provided stacktrace is incomplete, so it's impossible to find the real cause.

The core is quite old (1.518), so as a first step I would recommend updating to the latest or latest LTS version.

Sorry for irritation caused due to cap letter , I had no intentions to do so. I do understand being this a free service nobody is obliged to provide guaranteed response. But most of the time I found good solutions by the experts here only.

Anyways thanks for the response Daniel. I will change the component to core, thanks!

@Oleg, Sorry the Jenkins Version Used is: 1.588, we had upgraded this recently. I have provided only the error snippet, may be I might have missed in our setup which is leading to this error, any clue/pointer in debuging would be helpful.

Since it was throwing the exception in hudson packages, I thought its a coding bug. On jenkins console I am getting below exception though the build is successful, right after Maven Build Success message.
Error is repetitive hence didn't posted the whole thread:

Please any step I need to do, to find out the issue. Thanks in advance!

Swapnil

Make sure the slave.jar on the slaves is up to date. VersionColumn Plugin can help you with that. SSH Slaves take care of this automatically, but if you're launching using a different mechanism, that may be a problem.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the pointer, I have installed the VersionColumn Plugin, and its not complaining for any of the slave jars, so I believe that's not the issue. Moreover, when I am trying a release build, I am executing it on master server only where Jenkins is installed and not using any slave.

When I did further analysis between various build jobs I have, found a pattern that its causing this exception only for the job which is having a heavy maven build in terms of modules, which takes almost an hour for us to get all the modules built, may be it has some relation with timing or some threading issue in the core part of code which is leading to this error. Just wanted to share my analysis, might give you some clue to diagnose the problem. Thanks!

Regards,
Swapnil

Hi Swapnil,

I am now facing the same exception and couldn't able to find out the root cause. I can see that it's a long time back you faced this exeception. But can you please help me resolve this issue if you have any track of it.
Slave.jar as mentioned by daniel seems to be fine in my case

ClassCastException is being suppressed in the logs.
It would be great if somebody adds "-XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow" flag to the JVM instance and reproduces the issue. In such case we would have a log entry with more info.
