Maven build failure in Jenkins pipeline - maven

Question

I've Jenkins as my CI/CD with over 30 multi-branch pipelines running and I have started getting this error at "artifactory configuration stage" when trying to deploy the artifactory to Jfrog. The snippet of my Jenkinsfile is as follows:
// Artifactory Intigration
stage('Artifactory configuration') {
container('mvn') {
// Obtain an Artifactory server instance, defined in Jenkins --> Manage:
server = Artifactory.server 'dlight-jfrog'
rtMaven = Artifactory.newMavenBuild()
rtMaven.tool = 'mvn' // Tool name from Jenkins configuration
rtMaven.opts = "-Denv=dev"
rtMaven.deployer releaseRepo: 'libs-release-local', snapshotRepo: 'libs-snapshot-local', server: server
rtMaven.resolver releaseRepo: 'libs-release', snapshotRepo: 'libs-snapshot', server: server
rtMaven.deployer.deployArtifacts = false // Disable artifacts deployment during Maven run
buildInfo = Artifactory.newBuildInfo()
}
}
// sonarqube configuration
stage('SonarQube analysis') {
withSonarQubeEnv('dlight sonar') {
//rtMaven.run pom: 'pom.xml', goals: 'package sonar:sonar -Dsonar.branch.name=develop', buildInfo: buildInfo
rtMaven.run pom: 'pom.xml', goals: 'package sonar:sonar', buildInfo: buildInfo
}
}
stage("Quality Gate"){
timeout(time: 1, unit: 'HOURS') {
def qg = waitForQualityGate()
if (qg.status != 'OK') {
error "Pipeline aborted due to quality gate failure: ${qg.status}"
}
}
}
// build artifact
stage ('MVN Install') {
rtMaven.run pom: 'pom.xml', goals: 'install', buildInfo: buildInfo
}
And the pipeline aborts with this error message
