Parameterized Remote Trigger fails with NullPointerException

[Jacqueline Taing]

I am trying to use Parameterized Remote Trigger Plugin, but I keep getting error when it tries to launch job:

Remote Jenkins server returned empty response or invalid JSON - but we can still proceed with the remote build.

ERROR: Build step failed with exception

java.lang.NullPointerException

Build step 'Trigger a remote parameterized job' marked build as failure

Finished: FAILURE

Has anyone been able to successfully trigger a remote job with this plugin?  My remote host configuration uses the Credential plugin with username/password specified.

Thanks,

I have this same issue.  I have three servers setup.  One with Jenkins 1.609.3, 1.642.4, and 2.60.3.  I can use this plugin on my 1.6 - 1.6 instances but not 1.6 - 2.0.  Wonder if there is an issue with jenkins 2.0?  I also noticed that on my 1.6 > 1.6 instances it returns a 500 if I use choice parameters instead of just STRING.  I'm just going to curl the job to start it and check the status using http://jdpgrailsdev.github.io/blog/2015/01/13/jenkins_check_job_status.html
