After some Jenkinsfile experiments, the 'Maven' item on the job page disappeared, and downstream projects are not triggered anymore.
My best guess is that the problem appeared after I changed the publisher settings.
I reduced and reduced the Jenkinsfile, but I cannot find a configuration that brings that Maven menu item back. My most minimal Jenkinsfile currently looks something like this (it builds successfully and deploys to our Nexus repository):
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
node(label: 'mac') {
checkout(scm: scm)
withMaven(
maven: 'maven',
jdk: 'jdk8',
traceability: true,
//publisherStrategy: 'EXPLICIT',
//options: [pipelineGraphPublisher(), mavenLinkerPublisher()],
) {
sh "mvn -e -U clean deploy"
}
}

Looks like I gotten bitten by this: https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-71949
