This is an exception that occurs when classes are compiled with a higher version of the Java SDK (e.g. 1.6) and then you attempt to run them on a lower version (e.g. 1.4). The solution is to recompile the classes with the same Java SDK you will be using at runtime.

Hi Shyam

This error comes due to difference in JDk version.

I am not sure but this error comes like if you try to run files which are compiled on jdk 1.5 to some lower version like jdk 1.4. or this may be vice - versa .

So please check your jdk version and after changing to that it will surely work.

I am sorry that i am confused about that, so please forgive me for that.
