Hi everybody
I am trying to run a small program on a new "Windows XP" system. i am using jdk 1.5.0. it's the same old "hello world" program. it compiles without any errors or warnings , but when i try to run this program it displays this exception :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: hi (Unsupport
ed major.minor version 49.0)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)

at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source)


the class code is :

public class hi
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
System.out.println("hi");
}
}


can somebody please explain what may be causing this exception

Looks like you are compiling your code with JDK 1.5.0 but trying to run it with a 1.4 JRE. If you have both installed make sure you are using the version of Java you thing you are (try java -version fro mthe command line).

Hi

Always when I see such messages, I have a look at the Java API. There is a Class UnsupportedClassVersionError. Me too, I do not understand at the moment. I only know it is an Error.

Further one can read in the API: Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the major and minor version numbers in the file are not supported.

Best Regards
Urs

Thanks Paul and Urs,
I checked the version of java. this is "1.3.1.9"

D:\>java -version
java version "1.3.1.9"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1.9)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-rc2-b22, mixed mode)

then recomplied the class with
D:\>javac -source 1.3 shiv/hi.java

even then the same error persists.

who told me to be a software engineer!!

Why do you have Java 1.3.1 on your system? Uninstall that old version.

Do you have Oracle software on your system? Oracle has the bad habit of supplying a Java 1.3 JRE with their software.

Check your PATH setting and make sure that your Java 5 JRE is in the PATH correctly. Remove the Java 1.3 JRE from the PATH.
