Answer 1

Are you sure you have set up Maven in Jenkins -> configuration like this

I have hunch you have a accidental **"."** current directory reference somewhere in your maven set up.

Answer 2

1. Add the default maven installation under (Jenkins -> configuration)

2. Goto the failing job and make sure you choose the default maven installation from dropdown

3. Run the job. Success!

Answer 3
