Exception while compiling: wrong version 50.0, should be 49.0 - java

I am working an application with JXL API and when i tried compiling using eclipse IDE, it's working fine and the same is not compiling when i am trying to compile in Command prompt and showing the below exception..
Extract.java:6: cannot access jxl.read.biff.BiffException bad class file: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_01\jre\lib\ext\jxl.jar(jxl/read/biff/BiffException.class)
class file has wrong version 50.0, should be 49.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpa
th.
import jxl.read.biff.BiffException;
^
1 error
EDIT:
I am able to executing using JDK 1.6. Since JDK 1.6 must also be compatible with lower versions, why doesn't it support the class files which were compiled in JDK 1.5.

The library you're using was compiled with Java 6
Your compiler is Java 5 that's why it doesn't understand that format.
To fix it you have to get a 1.5 version of the library or upgrade your compiler to 1.6 I suggest the later.

I suspect that you are mixing code compiled with different versions of Java. Class file version 50.0 is used by Java 6.0, and 49.0 is used by Java 5.0.
Try doing a "build clean" to get rid of all existing class files, followed by a regular build.
JNode is being developed using Java 6.0 only. Last time I tried, it didn't build using Java 5.0 (aka 1.5). (It is a problem with the program that builds the JNode boot image.)
Try changing the builder in Eclipse. If you're using 3.4, it's Project - Properties - Java Compiler - Enable Project Specific Settings - Compiler Compliance Level = 1.6. You'll prolly also need to have JRE 1.6 installed, as well.

Check you class path in eclipse and make sure that its the same class path your compiling to in the command prompt, also check your library imports

It means that, you have compiled that class with Java 6 and trying to execute with Java 5.
Solution :
If your using ant, execute below steps on the project root directory
ant clean
ant deploy
If your using eclipse, just
clean the workspace(remove the class files which were compiled with Java6)
and build again

this could be that in you IDE you point to latest version of JDK but when you build your program outside the IDE(maybe with maven) your java_home is the older version to the one on your IDE.

Intellij IDEA 2018.2 does not recognize the JavaFX packages with JDK 10

I have searched but not found any detailed information about it. In http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/index.html it says
As of JDK 7u6 JavaFX is included with the standard JDK and JRE bundles
But I am getting error on compile the code includes javafx.* packages. The packages are not founding. I am using Oracle JDK 10.0.2 and Intellij Idea 2018.2. Code is worked after I added the $JAVA8_HOME/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar as library.
But the strange thing is I am able to build the code to target bytecode version 8 without adding the jar file from JDK 8 as above.
So the question is
How can I get the latest JavaFX?
Is the latest JavaFX is in the JDK 8?
UPDATE
JDK 10 includes JavaFX and compiled and ran successfully in command line. There is a problem with Intellij IDEA 2018.2. It does not recognize the JavaFX packages.
The error message in Intellij:
Error:(3, 26) java: package javafx.application does not exist
Note: There is no error while coding in editor (Not underling red). Error occurs when compiling in Intellij.
Updated question title.
JavaFX is included in Oracle JDK up to and including Java 10. From Java 11 onwards it will not be included anymore but can be downloaded separately here http://jdk.java.net/openjfx/ .
Additional information on how to get started with JavaFX from version 11 onwards is also available here: http://docs.gluonhq.com/javafx11/ .
Problem solved with this step:
Set the Project byte code version to 10 instead of 8 in
File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler > Java Compiler
Thanks for helps.

Funtime errors using a Java Library requires me to have JRE 8, but Library requires JDK 6 using IDEA

I started a new project that is just a hello world that has the Commons IO v2.4 Apache Library that uses JDK 1.6 but is unable to run after I build the jar. I added it to the Libraries and Modules just fine, and it executes the methods that I took from the libraries fine on Compile time, but I am using JRE 1.7. I took of the methods to prove that it is just the fact that it is interacting with this library. I did nothing else to this new project.
The JDK for the library is 1.6 but is demanding 1.8 JRE. Is there somethign that I'm missing here? I want to let users run my jar with their minimum JRE being 1.6 so I can target more users, but this is throwign an error.
The actual Error that is being thrown is the major.min error of 52.0, which means that it needs to run it at 1.8 JRE to run a simple hello world.
Try manually selecting language level for your project.
Right click project > Open Module Settings:
On right side under sources tab, change language level to required JDK.
Then click on Project tab on left and make sure both JDK version and language version are at correct version.

Java wrong major version

On our hadoop cluster my Pig UDF fails complaining
[main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 1069: Problem resolving class version numbers for class <classname>
I read writing a udf in pig kind of like tutorial and the problem seams to be clear, but unfortunately I cant solve it. My manifest does not contain a version (is this necessary?) and javap reports major version 52, representing java 1.8, although I compiled it with 1.7. So how can I solve this?
My manifest does not contain a version (is this necessary?)
The version manifest entry is not relevant to this. The classloader pays no attention to the version manifest entry.
and javap reports major version 52, representing java 1.8,
That is the relevant fact.
although I compiled it with 1.7.
This all boils down to how you compiled your code, and I think you are incorrect when you say that you compiled with Java 1.7.
Why do I say that? Because the Java 1.7 java compiler is not capable of creating a ".class" file with the Java 1.8 version numbers. It simply doesn't understand the Java 8 syntax extensions, and the corresponding enhancements to the classfile format.
So how can I solve this?
The way to resolve this is to look carefully at your build process and figure out how and why the offending class got compiled using a Java 1.8 compiler. Because there can be no doubt that that is what has happened.
If you are building by hand (e.g. by running "javac" and "jar" from the command line, or by clicking buttons in your IDE) then now would be a good time to learn about build tools like Maven, Ant and Gradle.
FOLLOWUP
That not true. My setting proofs this, but I guess I found the issue: .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs contain several 1.8. entries. This may be due to the fact that at the time of the project creation I had 1.8. installed.
Actually, it doesn't "prove" anything ...
What this is telling me is that you are probably compiling with the Eclipse Java compiler, not the Java compiler from your JDK.
In fact, your Eclipse compiler is (or was) compiling for a Java 1.8 target ... because that is what your Eclipse settings say that the Eclipse Java compiler should do. If you are using the Eclipse compiler to compile your code, the version of your JDK or JRE install doesn't determine the classfile version number.
Once again, I strongly recommend that you learn to use a Maven, Ant or Gradle so that you build process is more repeatable and less error prone.
I guess Stephen C's is the most general answer.
In my special case the problem was, that the project specific compiler compliance settings were wrong, because I used JDK 1.8 locally when I created the project and installed 1.7 later, when I got the error on the cluster.
The option is quite hidden and can be found here:
Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler > "Configure project specific settings" > [projectname] > "Compiler compliance level"

How to compile a JAR for Java 1.5

I'm using the PostToWeb library for Processing (http://libraries.seltar.org/postToWeb/), but when I try to run the sketch, I get an error telling me that the JAR for the class is compiled against Java 1.6, whereas the version of Processing that I'm using (1.5) uses Java 1.5
So, how would I go about recompiling the code src against Java 1.5?
Or, is there some other potential workaround?
Thanks.
If you are using a dev tool, you should be able to mention the compile version in the project properties.
in Eclipse, Project Properties, Java Compiler, set compliance level to 1.5.
It's as simple as:
javac -target 1.5
Otherwise you can specify it in maven with the compiler plugin
<compilerVersion>1.5</compilerVersion>
You could switch the version of Java you are running with to be version 6. Any jar compiled with version 5 will work with version 6. Just not vice versa. Then in the end you have a system running with an updated Java.
There are command line parameters for the compiler that can control this. I have done this with Ant.
I googled for you and found http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/javac.html which tells you to use -source 1.5 and -target 1.5 for these compiles.

Can I use Java 7 with Eclipse 3.x?

I am trying to config my eclipse (Helios) use jdk 7 to compile my code. I didn't install jdk 7 on my Windows XP. But I include all of the jdk contents with my project. It seems the solution provided in this post doesn't work. Compile java code needs JDK. the JRE is enough for running the compiled code. I think we need a way to configure the JDK to be used not just JRE. I tested with a JDK 7 new feature, String in switch, I can compile it in my batch file compile system but cannot use eclipse to compile it.
any idea?
This is what I did to make Eclipse 3.x works with Java 7.
install Java 7 in another machine and then copy the JDK folder into my java application 3rdparty directory (so my machine still use Java 6);
download the Eclipse 3.7.1 from here: eclipse 3.7.1
configure Eclipse by following steps in this post (select 1.7 in Compiler compliance level under the Java Compiler entry);
At least I can use String in Switch now in Eclipse.
Good luck.
Compile java code needs JDK. the JRE is enough for running the
compiled code.
that is right
"But I include all of the jdk contents with my project"
Including those will not change eclipse's compiler behavior. Including files under project build path just makes those classes available for your application development/run-time (or as good as setting CLASSPATH)
Do these :
1 - Install required version of JDK
2 - Choose following menu - Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler - and you will see a drop down to choose the version you want to use.
3 - Read this and this as well.
Good luck for being DBA after 5 yrs. Please consider working on your English as well (no offense please)
