How to Fix Unsupported major.minor Version 52.0 Error in Java
The unsupported major.minor version error is thrown in Java when a class is compiled using a higher version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) but executed on a lower version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The exact cause is printed on the version e.g. in the case of major.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.
