WSDL Generation Failing in Jenkins but working in Local

Question

Here is my POM File

            </configuration>
        </plugin>

    </plugins>

</build>

And here is the error trace from Jenkins

Am not a maven Expert, but what confuses me is why is the same project failing Jenkins where it works fine in Local Environment.

Answer 1

After going through the jaxws-maven-plugin configuration in pom.xml file it follows the documentation: https://jax-ws-commons.java.net/jaxws-maven-plugin/wsimport-mojo.html#wsdlDirectory

Apparently there is a bug in the below dependency

<groupId>org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>

That the mentioned in the pom.xml does not take spaces in the project path. And build server jobs had spaces in them.
