CI build are working fine on the same environment, however when I am trying to create Release Build using artifactory release staging option, its giving below error:

build

I ensured all the JAVA_HOME & MAVEN_HOME variables are appropriate, what could be the cause of this problem.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance!!
