Jenkins executing maven from incorrect path

Question

This happens for both: maven projects, and freestyle projects, when maven target is envoked, it tries to execute mvn using absolute path.

[MY-Job] $ tools/         


        

Answer 1

This looks like an auto installed Maven by Jenkins. In which case the previous answers are not correct.

It would seem in this occasion that you have not specified a "remote fs root" for your slave in the salve setup - later versions of Jenkins flag not setting this up correctly as an error.
