Error unable to parse POM while build on Jenkins

Question

Can anyone help with this?

I am getting this error " unable to parse POM" while building on Jenkins.

Answer 1

Maven tries to read /root/.jenkins/workspace/test tools as its user settings file (normally under /root/.m2/settings.xml). Since this is a directory, it can't be read.

Check-in your Job configuration under Build -> Advanced... -> settings file You seem to have selected Settings in the file system without any value. Change this to "Use default maven setting" and you are good.
