We are using the maven release plug-in on Hudson to automate the release process. When we do a release, the console log does say that the release was successful and the artifacts get deployed to the repository. But the hudson still stays red. when I look at hudson, the release is green and all other modules of the project stays red.
The project structure we have is.
parent
| -------- module 1
| -------- module 2
Module 1 and Module 2 artifacts get deployed. all the tests passes. But when I look at hudson, it stays red.
When I look at the hudson module console log, this is what I find,
Started

java.lang.NullPointerException

What could be the reason. Any help would be appreciated. I want hudson to turn green.
Have you upgraded the downstream build view plugin? I was having this problem and reported it, and it got fix in the latest version. See http://issues.hudson-ci.org/browse/HUDSON-7691
