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.
1) If you encounter UnSupportedClassVersionError, check the JRE version you are using to run program and switch to higher version for quick solution.
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. Since: 1.2 See Also: Serialized Form.
Well presumably it's not using the same version of Java when running it externally. Look through the startup scripts carefully to find where it picks up the version of Java to run. You should also check the startup logs to see whether they indicate which version is running.
Alternatively, unless you need the Java 7 features, you could always change your compiler preferences in Eclipse to target 1.6 instead.

Even though your JDK in eclipse is 1.7, you need to make sure eclipse compilance level also set to 1.7. You can check compilance level--> Window-->Preferences--> Java--Compiler--compilance level.
Unsupported major minor error happens in cases where compilance level doesn't match with runtime.
