Error installing tassel interphase on mac terminal

[marcbios]

I was trying to install the tassel 5.0 using: 

AGR-3012A-GS02:tassel-5-standalone omo$ ./start_tassel.pl -Xmx6g

But it was giving me an error message: 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/maizegenetics/tassel/TASSELMainApp : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

Here is the code

sudo rm /usr/bin/java
sudo ln -s /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java /usr/bin

Java 8 is required for Tassel 5.0
