Spring Boot Application Runtime Error

[ankitdixit]

Hello Everyone, I a new to programming and learning Java. I am trying to package a Java Spring Boot application. When I use the command "mvnw package" I get the following error:

/watchlist/WatchlistApplicationTests has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0) , this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

From reading online, I learnt that there is an issue with me using older Java version.

File version 55.0 is Java 11 and version 52.0 is Java 8.

I tried updating the Java version using the "Check for updates program". So that is fine.

When I run the "java -version" command I get the following:

openjdk version "11.0.8" 2020-07-14 LTS OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-11.0.8.10.1 (build 11.0.8+10-LTS) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-11.0.8.10.1 (build 11.0.8+10-LTS, mixed mode)

I then tried to change the project settings on Eclipse:

Java Build Path -> Libraries -> JRE System Library [jdk-15]

Java Compiler -> Compiler Compliance Level - 14

The POM file is a below:

Not sure where I am going wrong. Can anyone suggest me?

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.

Can anyone suggest me?

I would suggest you ask this question on a java message board, rather than an Excel board. You are more likely to get help.
