Hudson build fails with Fatal Error (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: hudson.util.RemotingDiagnostics$HeapDump )

Hopefully, someone can point out what maybe the issue causing the Fatal Error I receive when doing a Maven build using Hudson.

I just installed an instance of Hudson in Tomcat on a Windows XP box in a test environment. I am a rather novice at Hudson. I am trying to do a simple Maven 'clean' on a small Java project that I know builds fine on another instance of Hudson on another server.

The stack trace from the Hudson console is below:

Thank you

Did you happen to copy and paste a job (or entire hudson root) directory from your previous hudson machine to the one you installed? The classnotfound exception is a product of hudson/xstream trying to unmarshall build configuration.

One reason this is happening is because you built the hudson on one machine with a version and then tried to copy and paste the build configuration to your local instance and run hudson with a different version.

My suggestion if thats the case is to synch up your local machine to have the same version of hudson that was previously run on.

I have not upgraded or used any other version of hudson or copied any tasks. I am also getting this error! Checking in Hudson I see the 1.395 version is available. I did however just install the M2 maven release plugin.... Seems its stuffs up 1.394? I didn't change my job to use it yet either yet it fails.
