Error during maven/ant build: "[java] Timestamp response not valid"

Question

My maven build started failing randomly, and it got the following error which I cannot make sense of, and googling it doesn't give me anything useful:

[echo] Creating a full package...

This is a random error that pops up in various point during the build process, and sometimes the build will succeed and then the next one will fail again. This is really weird, does anyone seen this before? I'm using maven 2.2.1

BTW, the error return code 10 in windows mean "Environment is invalid.

I'm running into the same problem, which just started about an hour ago here too. We're using TeamCity. I was able to build fine in ant from eclipse, so not sure what the difference is that's going on.

[java] Timestamp response not valid

Answer 2

Also seeing similar behavior. "Getting [exec] Timestamp response not valid" response from our Hudson server. Just started happening randomly.

Could be a time stamp service issue?
