dd_in_ear_load_EXC_ when deploing with JENKINS while the same EAR successfully deployed with WAS admin console

Question

I have an EAR file that can be deployed with the IBM WAS admin console successfully, but error out if deployed with JENKINS, was admin scripts, e.g. AdminApp.update:

exception information:

com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.AppDeploymentException: com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.AppDeploymentException: [Root exception is org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception.DeploymentDescriptorLoadException: dd_in_ear_load_EXC_] org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception.DeploymentDescriptorLoadException: org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception.DeploymentDescriptorLoadException: dd_in_ear_load_EXC_

Since I am deploying the same EAR file to the same app server, i don't believe that application.xml and web.xml may be causing it.

What else i should check?
Thanks

Problem resolved.

Compatibility of the JDK versions causes this issue.

The JDK version of the compiler is 1.8, while the wsadmin.sh was using a lower version.

EAR deployed successfully after adding the option "-javaoption -Djava.version=1.8" in the command line.
