Thank you for posting the war for Hudson ver. 1.389-SNAPSHOT (private-12/13/2010 23:51-olamy). Olamy, my understanding from your blogspot was copy the hudson.war you posted to the hudson install directory and restart the server.
Building using maven 2.2.1 it worked (both with freestyle and the maven 2 type job), but with maven 3.0.1 the same multi-pom project with a maven 2 type job generated this error using the goals and options "-e -X -V clean install":

I have to correct myself. It's not working both on Windows and on Linux. The working job I've seen on Windows wasn't a real Maven job but a free-style job with a Maven build step (and that's invoked with mvn.bat).
Any updates on the issue?
