Hi @Koyal, If you look at the Jenkins Documentation, it mentions that you need java 8. The later versions are not supported by Jenkins

  • Java 8 runtime environments, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported

  • Since Jenkins 2.164 and 2.164.1 [1], Java 11 runtime environments are supported

    • Running Jenkins with Java 11 is documented here

    • There are some precautions to take when upgrading from Java 8 to Java 11 in Jenkins, please follow these guidelines.

  • Older versions of Java are not supported

  • Java 9 and Java 10 are not supported

  • Java 12 is not supported
