Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Hello,
I started using new TOS DI 6.1 in my local machine. I have JAVA 8 installed. My talend job works fine in my local.
I exported the job to a batch job, and put it in the server side. The java version in the server side is still java 7. When I ran the job, I got error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: test/main_process : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

I tried to change the installed JRE to Java 7 under Window->Preferences->Java, and exported the job again, I got exactly the same error as above.

May I know if there is a way to let my local still using java 8 and TOS 6.1, but exported job could run under Java 7 as well.
Thanks!

Does TOS 6.1 only can work under Java 8 and cannot compile the code with lower Java JDK?

Hi,

Actually, this problem is usually caused by  "a higher JDK during compile time and lower JDK during runtime". The JDK version  in your server side is java 7? Can you upgrade your JDK on server?

Best regards

I was able to simply update the JDK version on the server to solve this issue. I found a tutorial how one can accomplish this.
