minor version 52.0, the class is compiled using JDK 8 since major version 52 corresponds to Java SE 8. This error can usually be fixed by running the application on the same (or higher) JRE version as the JDK.
UnsupportedClassVersionError happens because of a higher JDK during compile time and lower JDK during runtime. How can i make above change? Project -> Properties -> Java Compiler Enable project specific settings. Then select Compiler Compliance Level to 1.7, 1.6 or 1.5, build and test your app.
Class UnsupportedClassVersionErrorThrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the major and minor version numbers in the file are not supported.
Your code was compiled with Java Version 1.8 while it is being executed with Java Version 1.7 or below.
In your case it seems that two different Java installations are used, the newer to compile and the older to execute your code.
Try recompiling your code with Java 1.7 or upgrade your Java Plugin.
You have to compile with Java 1.7. But if you have *.jsp files, you should also completely remove Java 1.8 from the system. If you use Mac, here is how you can do it.
I noticed that in netbeans Apache configuration in the servers tab. you can state the platform for your web application. I changed to 1.8 and it worked fine. (I am targeting java 8 platform in my application). Hope that might t help.
I assumed openjdk8 would work with tomcat8 but I had to remove it and keep openjdk7 only, this fixed the issue in my case. I really don't know why or if there is something else I could have done.
