Maven/Jenkins - trouble running Maven from Jenkins

Question

So I have a project that runs Jenkins, which calls Maven, which calls Ant (dont ask why) which runs a series of JMeter tests.

I know the Ant and JMeter stuff works fine. The issue Im having is when trying to add Maven to the mix.

I have it calling the pom.xml which simple references the ant build.xml file. the error I get is below:

Is anyone able to point out where I have gone wrong? Thanks

UPDATE

I am running this off a clients VDI machine, which I has having issues running commands such as mvn install, which was giving me errors such as connection refused:forbidden and timed out. Do you think this is the issue, or is my pom.xml just not correct?

Answer 1

So the issue was that the vdi was blocking me downloading the relevant jar and pom files. So what I did was run the task on my local machine, copied the files across to my vdi repo and for the jar files, I registered them with the following maven command:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=.\lib\com.ibm.mq.jar -DgroupId=com.ibm.mq -DartifactId=WebsphereMQClassesForJava -Dversion=7.0.1.5 -Dpackaging=jar
