Jenkins build issue

Question

I got the following error while running a Jenkins job

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.2:war (default-war) on project mosm-ui: Error unpacking file [/var/lib/jenkins/.m2/repository/com/cisco/xmp/wap/xmpweb/2.0.5/xmpweb-2.0.5.war]to [/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/MOS_2.3/workspace/target/war/work/com.cisco.xmp.wap/xmpweb]: chmod exit code was: 127 -> [Help 1] org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.2:war (default-war) on project mosm-ui: Error unpacking file [/var/lib/jenkins/.m2/repository/com/cisco/xmp/wap/xmpweb/2.0.5/xmpweb-2.0.5.war]to [/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/MOS_2.3/workspace/target/war/work/com.cisco.xmp.wap/xmpweb]

Appreciate your help in advance.

You might not be passing your PATH variable correctly. Look for something that looks like :PATH and make it :$PATH

see this similar issue here and stop thinking of it as a maven failure, but rather a bad call to chmod.
