Hi, I have a problem with Jenkins where I cannot use a specific name for a build job. This error is driving me crazy.
The name I'm using is cf-corpxml-exp-qa-build-jar, when I run the build I get the following error Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/2.2/maven-clean-plugin-2.2.pom[WARNING] Unable to get resource 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:pom:2.2' from repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2): Error transferring file: Connection timed out: connectDownloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/2.2/maven-clean-plugin-2.2.pom[WARNING] Unable to get resource 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:pom:2.2' from repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2): Error transferring file: Connection timed out: connect[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------[ERROR] BUILD ERROR[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM). It cannot connect to the maven central repository to download the maven-clean-plugin. Now I've tried cloinging this job exactly as it is and calling it CF-Test. This will then download the plugin as expected and complete successfully. Also changing the name to cf-corpxml-exp-qa-build-jar-2 also causes the job to start working. I've deleted the job and created it again and the same problems persist. I've even gone and done the deletion/renaming directly in the jenkins jobs folder which also seems to make no difference. Why would taking "-2" off the end of the name suddenly stop it connecting to maven central? All of our other jobs connect with no issues so it is definitely not a networking/firewall problem. I have this problem with 2 build jobs and we are running around 100 and I've never seen this issue before. I've tried everything and the only thing that is consistent is that using the name above causes the job to fail and not using the name allows it to download the plugin. We are using Maven 2 , Jenkins v1.456 and Java6 u29 Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
