Jdeveloper 12.2.1.4 Java Version ~upd~
Install the JDK, making note of the installation path (e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_XXX ). 2. Configure jdeveloper.conf or jdev.boot
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: oracle/jdeveloper/ide/Starter has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 52.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 51.0
Specifically, it requires the 64-bit version of JDK 1.8.0. Oracle recommends using the latest available update of JDK 8 (such as JDK 1.8.0_211 or higher) to ensure security and stability. Key Version Details Java SE Development Kit 8 (64-bit)
The output should indicate JDK 1.8 with a specific update number (e.g., 1.8.0_211). jdeveloper 12.2.1.4 java version
If JDeveloper does not detect the JDK automatically, you must inform it of the path. Open \jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.boot . Locate the line setjava.home .
You compiled a library or project using JDK 11+ and tried to import or run it within JDeveloper 12.2.1.4.
