See the above tickets for how to do this properly. Note: there will be a pull request with these changes very soon.

looks like the pull request was never fulfilled. this is a pretty bad problem for us. is there a workaround?

I think the plugin is abandoned. The pull request was never fulfilled because the solution I used didn't work on older versions of Jenkins, and I didn't feel like patching for old versions. I can point you to the repo on GitHub if you'd like where my changes were. I think I made a few.

The older versions of Jenkins are like versions from 2014 or something.

is there a different plugin that has the same functionality?

and can't you make it work with new versions of jenkins?

I don't know about a different plugin. I did write a fix that works with newer versions and that is what we have been using for 18 months. I just couldn't release it and patch it because it wasn't a perfect fix.

Are you familiar with using maven?

Another option is I can see what the Jenkins channel says about just changing the minimum supported version.

I am running the latest version of jenkins. the master is centos.

the master on the server which is kicking off the build on the remote jenkins is windows. the remote jenkins is centos
but both are running the latest jenkins version

we want the fix anyway we can get it.

all the maven downloads I try are failing!!

got maven.. but have never used it. do I need anything more than the command you gave me? it doesn't seem to be doing anything
do I need to tell it what to build or just be in the top level directory with the pom.xml file?

I think just be in the top level directory with the pom.xml file, run the command and then look in the build or output directory.

Sadly I'm not a Maven expert, or even a Jenkins one, I just had to fix this issue a year and a bit ago, and had forgotten about this until this morning when I got an e-mail from this ticket

The only thing I can recommend is maybe try: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+tutorial#Plugintutorial-CreatingaNewPlugin or if you want and would trust it I would offer to send you the build I made.

got it to build!
now to install it.

I uploaded it to my test jenkins instance. will let you know if we see the problem again. Thank you very much for your time and efforts.
