You can update your Jenkins version, it will solve it. Otherwise this worked for me (Jenkins 1.6, build/test node: MacOSX Mojave):

First install java 8 in your build/test node using the commands:

brew update
brew cask install caskroom/versions/java8

Then in Jenkins web panel click on your build/test node, then click on Configure and then click in the Advanced... button, this will show you multiple text fields. Then in the JavaPath field add the path to your java 8.

For me this path is like:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.X_XXX.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

Note: remember replace X_XXX with your java 8 version before.

Then Save.

After that disconnect the build/test node and connect it again. This should solve the problem.
