Just a quick post for other people who find that they are having problems trying to build a Maven Job in Jenkins. I’ve just spent the best part of an afternoon trying to track down why I kept getting a Non-resolvable parent POM error message while trying to build a Maven Job in Jenkins. It worked fine in the command line but refused to build in Jenkins. After lots of hair pulling out and other people um’in and ar’ing I eventually found a solution. If you keep getting this error, try creating a new Freestyle Job and add the maven build as a build step. It worked great for my project. I hope this post saves anyone else a wasted afternoon trying to track this down.
