Issue

I am not able to use the JBehave Jenkins plugin. Here the trace I found in the logs:

Environment

Jenkins: 1.625.3.1

JBehave Jenkins Plugin: 3.6

Resolution

Unfortunately, the only action to do is to disable this plugin. Indeed, it depends on Hudson libraries, not on Jenkins ones.

The fix depends on the JBEHAVE-1160 issue.
