Composite build will not execute on build server, but runs locally

Hi Guys,

I'm having a serious problem executing my SOAP UI Pro build. I'm running Ready API 1.8.5 and my project is a composite project.

When I run it locally (the maven build) everything runs fine and the test starts as expected.

Running the same build on our build server results in the below error. It can't, for some weird reason, suddenly not find the project.xml. It's a composite project so I have only specified the folder of the project - and it runs locally.

The build server has a valid license installed.

For the maven build I use the latest available plug-in:

<groupId>com.smartbear</groupId>
<artifactId>ready-api-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.8.1</version>

Here the exception:
