Jenkins ver. 2.138.2
Nexus Repository Manager Version: Sonatype Nexus Repository ManagerOSS 3.13.0-01
Open Source Server: YES
Nexus-Platform-plugin version : 3.3.20180912-170211.be90294

Nexus Repository Manager 3.x has been configured in Jenkins with the right credentials. The test works.
I am trying to publish a maven project to the repository using the nexus-jenkins-plugin (Jenkins Plugins) and it fails with the following exception

Note: We are not using Nexus IQ server. I have just followed instructions for configuring the Nexus Repository Manager Nexus Platform Plugin for Jenkins title " Repository Manager 3 Integration"

Tried using other nexus plugin version too but i get the same error

Usage:

stage (‘Push to nexus’)

{ nexusPublisher nexusInstanceId: ‘jenkins-nexus’, nexusRepositoryId: ‘maven-releases’, packages: [[$class: ‘MavenPackage’, mavenAssetList: [[classifier: ‘’, extension: ‘’, filePath: ‘./clients/build/libs/xyz.jar’]], mavenCoordinate: [artifactId: ‘kafka-xyz’, groupId: ‘org.apache’, packaging: ‘jar’, version: ‘1.1’]]] }
