I know this have been reported before, but I though I'd fill in with some
additional information.

I am trying to build our Maven2 multi project with Hudson, but it just hangs
while trying to fetch artifacts from external repositories. The same build works
fine from the commandline.

I tried with Maven 2.0.4, Maven 2.0.6 and Maven 2.0.7 all with the same result.

Here is what the console log shows:

$ java -cp "C:\Documents and Settings\bjacobse\Local
Settings\Temp\winstone\hudson.war\WEB-INF\lib\maven-agent-1.150.jar;C:\Program
Files\maven-2.0.4\core\boot\classworlds-1.1.jar" hudson.maven.agent.Main
"C:\Program Files\maven-2.0.4" "C:\Documents and Settings\bjacobse\Local
Settings\Temp\winstone\hudson.war\WEB-INF\lib\remoting-1.150.jar" "C:\Documents
and Settings\bjacobse\Local
Settings\Temp\winstone\hudson.war\WEB-INF\lib\maven-interceptor-1.150.jar"

When I then eventually abort the job I get this stacktrace:
