Newbie question on getting started

[Pranav Shah]

Hi,
  Based on a previous post about this topic I wenr to the Gremlin: Getting Started page and followed the instructions.

  The version I downlaoded was "gremlin-1.3.zip — Gremlin 1.3 On the Case release"
 
  I am using a PC and thus opened the command window and tried to run "gremlin.bat" to get the console.  Shown below is the error and my current java version.

C:\gremlin\gremlin-1.3>gremlin.bat
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file

C:\gremlin>java -version
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode)


  For now I just want to play (or tinker) with Gremlin and Pipes.  Are there any pre-requisites that I am missing?

  Any advice would be great

Thanks.

Hi,

Gremlin requires Java 1.6+.

HTH,
