I have a fresh installed Debian Wheezy server running Jenkins 1.596 (The latest Version) installed from the official deb package.
For playing around with Jenkins, I crated a new Maven-Project which gets checked out with Git.
When I run Maven to build this project, on my local machine which has Maven version 3.0.5 installed, by executing mvn3 package the build is successfully, but when I try to build the project on the Jenkins server the build fails.
The plugins maven-resources-plugin (maven-resources-plugin:2.6) and maven-compiler-plugin (maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1) are the same version on my dev system and the Jenkins server.
The build fails because of a error: cannot find symbol error which does not occur when building the project on my local system.
Here is the log generated by the Jenkins server during build:
