After upgrading to Jenkins 1.550 this morning, projects are failing when archiving artifacts.

Saw this same issue when upgrading. Downgrading fixed it.

kleini:

I encouter the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. Ant 1.9.3, Oracle Java 1.8.0_20. When I look into the source code of Ant, this problem seems to be related to Ant. Some of the static initializers of org.apache.tools.ant.Location fail.

Either this one:
private static final FileUtils FILE_UTILS = FileUtils.getFileUtils();

or some import fails:
import org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils;
import org.xml.sax.Locator;

Encounter the issue again (Jenkins ver. 1.571) :

danielbeck:

How did you install Jenkins?

[timja]

aviv_yam:

Drop the war on tomcat 6 .

[timja]

danielbeck:

If you have the chance, try running Jenkins on an Oracle JDK.

[timja]

nickolayr:

Slave reconnection heals the problem.

[timja]

sverhoef:

Had the same issue (Jenkins ver. 1.651.3). For me also reconnecting the node fixed the issue. In my case the node had recently been restarted, so could be the file system with class files wasn't fully available yet.

The question of course is if the root cause can be fixed to prevent this from happening at all.

rsugasi:

I faced this problem today. Disconnect and Reconnect slave solved it.
