Installation of Maven 3.2.1 is not terminating

Question

I try to set up a new Hudson (3.3.2) with Maven (3.2.1), but installation of Maven is not terminating.

Configuration of Maven:

Job log:

Gestartet durch Benutzer anonymous
[...]
Unpacking http://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.2.1-bin.zip to C:\Users\dur\.hudson\tools\Maven_3.2.1 on Hudson

Created files:

.hudson
    tools
        Maven_3.2.1
             apache-maven-3.2.1
                 boot
                     plexus-classworlds-2.5.1.jar

All other files are not unpacked. But it is no network problem, because I can manually download and unpack apache-maven-3.2.1-bin.zip without any problem.

Environment:

• Windows 7
• Java 8 (also with Java 7)
• Hudson 3.3.2 (also with 3.3.3)
• Legacy Maven 2 job type Plugin 3.0.2

In the year 2014 I set up a Hudson (3.1.2) with Maven 3.0.4 successfully.

A work-around is to install Maven manually and use this installation, see The Hudson Book:

Use an existing Installation
Specify a Name and add the path to your Maven install in the MAVEN_HOME input control.
