xml-file created by allure is valid (I may create correct report with maven goal "site" with the same xml), so the problem must be in jenkins plugin.

I have maven 3.2.5 installed, settings.xml exists in ~/.m2 directory and seems to be correct.

What may be the reason of such error? Seems that it's somehow connected with maven settings.

Looking at the code of the plugin and AetherUtils, it's not really clear why this happens. The plugin seems to have some poor release management practices, but it seems that (unlike most Jenkins plugins) you should try reporting this as a bug here: github.com/allure-framework/allure-jenkins-plugin/issues — Christopher Orr

The problem was in maven settings.xml file, in

<activeProfiles>

section. It contained profile, that in fact didn't exist. Removing this profile solved the problem.
