None of these answers helped me  but I found a solution  I had a webproject used in Wildfly 8 2  built with Maven  source and target was set to 1 8 on maven-compiler-plugin  as well as all Eclipse and Maven settings were set to Java 1 8  The problem was that Wildfly 8 2 cannot handle Java 1 8  so I had to set everything to 1 7 and it worked

You will need to change your compiler compliance level back to 1 7 in your IDE    This can be done in the preferences settings of your IDE  For example  in Eclipse go to menu Windows   Preferences  select Java  and expand it  Then select Compiler and change the compliance level to 1 7  I am sure this will work from there

I ran into this issue in Eclipse on Mac nbsp OS nbsp X v10 9  Mavericks   I tried many answers on Stack nbsp Overflow     finally  after a full day I  installed a fresh version of the Android SDK  and updated Eclipse  menu Project   Properties   Android to use the new path     I had to get SDK updates  but only pulling down those updates I thought were necessary  avoiding APIs I were not working with  like Wear and TV     and that did the trick  Apparently  it seems I had corrupted my SDK somewhere along the way   BTW    I did see the error re-surface with one project in my workspace  but it seemed related to an import of appcompat-7  which I was not using  After rm-ing that project  so far haven t seen the issue resurface

Upgrade your Andorra version to JDK 1 8   This is a version mismatch that your compiler is looking for Java version 8 and you have Java version 7   You can run an app build in version 7 in version 8  but you can t do vice versa because when it comes to higher levels  versions are embedded with more features  enhancements rather than previous versions   Download JDK version from this link  And set your JDK path for this

The issue is because of Java version mismatch  Referring to the Wikipedia Java Class Reference   Java SE 14   58 Java SE 13   57 Java SE 12   56  0x38 hex  Java SE 11   55  0x37 hex  Java SE 10   54 Java SE 9   53 Java SE 8   52 Java SE 7   51 Java SE 6 0   50 Java SE 5 0   49 JDK 1 4   48 JDK 1 3   47 JDK 1 2   46 JDK 1 1   45  These are the assigned major numbers  The error regarding the unsupported major minor version is because during compile time you are using a higher JDK and a lower JDK during runtime  Thus  the  major minor version 52 0  error is possibly because the jar was compiled in JDK 1 8  but you are trying to run it using a JDK 1 7 environment   The reported number is the required number  not the number you are using  To solve this  it s always better to have the JDK and JRE pointed to the same version  In IntelliJ IDEA   Go to Maven Settings   Maven   Importing  Set the JDK for importer to 1 8  Go to Maven Settings   Maven   Runner  Set the JRE to 1 8  Go to menu File    Project Structure   SDKs  Make sure the JDK home path is set to 1 8   Restart IntelliJ IDEA  Another approach which might help is by instructing IntelliJ IDEA which JDK version to start up with  Go to   Applications IntelliJ  IDEA  15  CE app Contents Info plist and replace the JVM version with   lt key gt JVMVersion lt  key gt   lt string gt 1 8  lt  string gt

All you need to do to solve the problem is    to make sure your version of Java is the same for both compiling and running  No matter what tools or IDEs you are using

User · Answer

The smart way to fix that problem is to compile using the latest SDK and use the cross compilation options when compiling   To use the options completely correctly requires the rt jar of a JRE  not JDK  of the target version   Given the nature of that applet  it looks like it could be compiled for use with Java 1 1
