Java報錯--Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

遇到一個Java相關的報錯：

...

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: ... : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
...

報錯說的不明不白，度娘後發現這樣一個消息：

Whenever something like this happens in our software, we tell our users. This is a bug, we need to fix it.

I would expect a message like: You are running the wrong Java version on this machine: 1.7, please install and set the right java version: 1.8

A normal user will first have to find out what a major.minor version is, then have to find the mapping between majaor.minor and Java version,
depending on vendor, this could even vary. This is not a good user experience.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and set java 7: java -version should show 1.7
2. Run Java 8 compiled code against this java version

檢查看發現本身服務器上Java果真是1.7的(Java -version)

下載合適的Java1.8：

安裝：

[root@hadoop-node-2 java]# rpm -ivh jdk-8u92-linux-x64.rpm

添加環境變量：

[root@hadoop-node-2 jdk1.8.0_92]# tail -3 /etc/profile
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_92
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar

查看是否成功：

[root@hadoop-node-2 jdk1.8.0_92]# which java
/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_92/bin/java
[root@hadoop-node-2 jdk1.8.0_92]# which javac
/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_92/bin/javac
[root@hadoop-node-2 jdk1.8.0_92]# java -version
java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)
[root@hadoop-node-2 jdk1.8.0_92]# javac -version
javac 1.8.0_92                             

再次運行個人程序，成功經過，再也不報錯，完美！

 

另附相關的幾個近義詞辨析：

Java：是一種計算機編程語言

javac：是Java語言編程編譯器，是一種能夠讀取由java語言編寫的類和接口的定義，並將它們編譯成字節代碼的class文件的工具

JDK：是Java語言的軟件開發工具包,沒有JDK的話，沒法編譯Java程序

jre: 爲Java Runtime Environment的簡稱，即Java運行環境，是運行JAVA程序所必須的環境的集合，它包括Java虛擬機（jvm）、Java核心類庫和支持文件，但不包含開發工具(JDK)、調試器和其它工具。

注意：若是隻須要運行Java程序或Applet，下載並安裝jre便可。若是要自行開發Java軟件，請下載JDK。在JDK中附帶有JRE
