The reference to the class in question was introduced here:
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/46919/4/opendaylight/md-sal/sal-clustering-commons/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/controller/cluster/datastore/node/utils/stream/AbstractNormalizedNodeDataOutput.java

Controller merge jobs download the required jar and compilation passes without any issues:
[INFO] Downloading: https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/public/com/google/code/findbugs/annotations/3.0.0/annotations-3.0.0.jar

I have no idea why the autorelease job never attempts such a download, thus ignoring odlparent:odlparent declaration:
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/47357/1/odlparent/pom.xml@1244

Attempted workaround: https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/47751

But the real issue is somewhere else: autorelease, odlparent:odlparent, or perhaps controller:commons.opendaylight.
So in future there may appear similar Bugs, which also break autorelease only, without any warnings from verify or merge jobs.

So it was the known issue of autorelease not updating submodules (in this case odlparent commit is from before 47357 was merged).

Fix for the current submodule commits: https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/47755

Maybe we need a job to perform "git checkout

" in each submodule (and push the new commit to autorelease master) before triggering autorelease-release-

.

I think this may have something to do with:

Downloading: http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/opendaylight/odlparent/findbugs/1.8.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml
Downloaded: https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.snapshot/org/opendaylight/odlparent/findbugs/1.8.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml (784 B at 0.6 KB/sec)
[WARNING] Could not transfer metadata org.opendaylight.odlparent:findbugs:1.8.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml from/to codehaus-snapshots (http://nexus.codehaus.org/snapshots/): nexus.codehaus.org: No address associated with hostname
[WARNING] Failure to transfer org.opendaylight.odlparent:findbugs:1.8.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml from http://nexus.codehaus.org/snapshots/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of codehaus-snapshots has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer metadata org.opendaylight.odlparent:findbugs:1.8.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml from/to codehaus-snapshots (http://nexus.codehaus.org/snapshots/): nexus.codehaus.org: No address associated with hostname

Which points to findbugs not having proper declaration of scm/distributionManagement or similar.

https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/47759

Another thing that occurs to me is the annotations version – we have 3.0.0 declared, but the plugin uses 3.0.1: http://gleclaire.github.io/findbugs-maven-plugin/dependency-updates-report.html

https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/47760 should address that.

autorelease is lagging behind odlparent (again):

$ git submodule status odlparent
ff5ec3d1679aed8315cac5ba159c14118f08e62c odlparent (odlparent-aggregator-1.7.0-104-gff5ec3d)

which is https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/47185

Updated and merged Vratko's patch for autorelease. Thanks everyone.
