Question

Symptom

If I create a Maven job in Jenkins (New Item => Maven project, using the maven plugin) with all defaults and run it, I get this error:

Answer 1

For me, the solution was to go to Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration, and set up maven there. You can access this via /configureTools (ex: http://your-ip:8080/jenkins/configureTools )

Example: Maven installations

• Name: my_maven_3.3.9
• MAVEN_HOME: /usr/share/maven

Additional configurations for other common tools at /configureTools :

Git installations

• Name: my_git_2.11.0
• Path to Git executable: /usr/bin/git

JDK installations

• Name: my_jdk_1.8.0_161
• JAVA_HOME: /opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_161
