Can any one help me to resolve the issue

Answer 1

Looks like it's searching for a oracle-specific library and you're using open jdk. Switching to Oracle jdk will probably fix your issue.

Install Oracle jdk in your Jenkins server and point JAVA_HOME/PATH variables to Oracle jdk.

Answer 2

Check in cmd (or shell, depends on your OS) your java version

java -version

and the path

echo %JAVA_HOME%

You're probably using jre instead of jdk.
