Problem in JDK compatibility

[Biswajit Paria]

Hi,

I am trying to compile my classes in JDK1.4 version and few classes depends on other classes which are complied in JDK1.5 version .

I am getting the following error:

bad class file: /home/w3eqadm/emtclients/companypage/build/script/emtclients/companypage/lib/emt.jar(com/csfb/equity/edge/util/ApplicationProperties.class)
class file has wrong version 49.0, should be 48.0

I am in a situation that, I have to compile classes in JDK1.4 which are depending on classes complied in JDK1.5.

How can it be possible? Please advice.

Thanks,
Biswajit.

You can possibly do this:

Download the latest version of JDK 1.5. With it, run the compiler with the -target 1.4 argument to javac. This will generate Java 1.4 compatible class files. Whether this will work with your java 1.5 class files I don't know, but it will at least compile the source.

Honestly? Either you have to find a Java 1.4 compliant version of whatever libraries you're using, or you need to upgrade your project to Java 1.5
