Business Process not deploying (com.ibm.bpe.util.VersionInfo.(VersionInfo.java:52))

I was trying to publish the application (Business process) module in WID to the server. The server was kept on throwing the error

Then i found that i was trying to publish a module to ESB server. I started the websphere process server and published the project. It was successfully published and started. BPEL modules cannot be published on ESB. If you are getting this error first check this and add it to your checklist
