Maven2 to Maven3 Migration java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Question

I am trying to update to M3 but I have a few issues/LOTS to work out. I am stuck on one particular failure.

at org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.AbstractArchiver$1.hasNext(AbstractArchiver.java:467)

That causes a stack overflow and then

What is going on...?

Answer 1

Updating maven assembly plugin to latest version fixed my problem.

<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.6</version>

Answer 2

Workaround, not a fix:

set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xss2m

What fixed it for me : Make sure you specify a version for maven assembly plugin and make sure it's updated.

<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2.1</version>

Answer 3

The stack trace shows it is a StackOverflow error, try to increase stack size to 5MB or more by adding -Xss5M in VM arguments.

Answer 4

This failure log is from running in Hudson. Can you make sure it works on the command line first. That will make it much easier. Also if you want to run on Hudson I would suggest to make sure you use the new Maven 3 integration that allows you to do Maven 3 build steps in a free-style project and NOT use the Maven2/3 project type, since it has been declared legacy.
