class file has wrong file version 51.0, should be 49.0

[frank ho]

my environment is :

<pre>

windows 7, 32 bit, two jdk, one is 1.5, another is 1.7, google gwt, jetty, ant, two eclipse, one is kepler, another is luna.

</pre>

for kepler, I set its jdk is 1.5, and use ant to compile and jar, this works, and eclipse can open the gwt window when debugging.

then i use luna, check out project(gwt project) from cvs, there is error said the jdk is 1.5 when compiling with ant, therefore I changed the jdk to 1.7 since this project requires this version, eventually compile is ok with ant.  However, when I debug it in eclipse, it opens a gwt window said unable to compile to jsp, and the error in console is : 

<pre>

10:20:48.193 [btpool0-8] ERROR org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler - Javac exception

please delete this file or make sure ...

import cn.com.yict.easyport.web.service.CommonUtil;

</pre>

what happened?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you have class files compiled with Java 1.7 but you still launch your common-web project using Java 1.5 which then does not understand classes compiled for Java 1.7.

Thanks Jens!  

Yes, it did as you said.  I just cannot understand why because I have changed the jdk to 1.7 both in windows -> preference and project build path.

what I am missing?

[Jens]

what I am missing?

Maven should also use Java 1.7 for compilation, not just the IDE. I would guess Maven uses the JAVA_HOME environment variable which might still point to Java 5.

I didn't use Maven.

This looks like Eclipse WTP, not GWT-related.

Looks like Jetty is spawn in a 1.5 JVM rather than 1.7.
