Answer 1

I encountered the same error when using a JRE instead of a JDK. I recommnend you to ensure a JDK is used.

Regards,

Answer 2

I had same error and as per suggested by Aurélien Pupier I did checked my java version but my $JAVA_HOME was empty and 'java -version' command was showing me version Java 11 instead of jdk 1.8. So i searched jdk version 1.8 location and registered it in $JAVA_HOME variable using above link: enter link description here

Answer 3

It is due an incompatibility, maybe you're using a different JDK than you think.

Change your JDK to 1.8, if you're using Mac:

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8`
