在项目开发中自定义了一个maven plugin，在本地能够很好的工作，但是在ci server上却无法正常工作报错为：

在花费了我大半的时间，将本地环境的maven，jdk等设为和ci一致后最后定位到maven的版本问题，其终究原因是因为maven在3.0.3才支持配置参数为泛型集合(List<T>,Set<T>...)，在3.0.2及一下本班不支持此写法。

修改次error的方法有两种：

将ci Server的maven更新到3.0.3以上。(但是在我们的ci server更新有些困难，还有本人认为如果写一个plugin只能工作的固定version，这和一个废物差不多，所以选择了第二种方法)。
将泛型集合List<T>改为Array T[]。（项目中某大神写的List<File>我轻易的改为File[].在执行前改为Arrays.asList(XXX)）;

一切搞定。在此记录希望对于遇见同类问题的人有所帮助。
