Accumulo Devs (and INFRA team), Builds have been failing lately because of a recent Jenkins bug[1] with Maven 3.5.x versions, even when Maven finished successfully. I moved our jobs[2] back to build with Maven 3.3.9 as a workaround. Another workaround would have been to disable the "Publish FindBugs analysis results" checkbox, which seems to trigger the problem. This might make sense for us anyway, since we already fail the build on new non-trivial findbugs issues.
Here's an example of a recent failure[3]. Including INFRA on this thread, in case it affects decisions to remove old versions of Maven or otherwise affects Jenkins maintenance in any way.
