I have Hudson server running version 1.319 on Windows XP using Maven 2.2.0 and
Sun JDK 1.5.18 which has one slave running with the exact same version of the
tools (both the JDK and Maven are installed using a custom zip archive).

My project builds apparently without error on the "master" node but while
building on the slave it failes with the error message below. From the build
console log it looks like a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError is thrown in the
hudson.maven.agent.PluginManagerInterceptor.executeMojo class. Even though I do
not get the exception when building the project on the Master node, Hudson still
seems to think that the build fails as the build status indicator remains red.
The console log however states the the build was successful.

Is Hudson 1.319 not compatible with the latest Maven releases?
The project that fails is set up to generate Cobertura data files for use by the
Cobertura Hudson plugin.
