I have project (web service) to maintain in Java. Developers who build that project told me that they have used Java 11 and Gradle. So I have installed:

  1. OpenJDK Server VM Corretto-11.0.11.9.1 (build 11.0.11+9-LTS, mixed mode, emulated-client)
  2. Gradle 7.0.2
  3. Eclipse IDE 2021-06 (4.20.0)

on Windows 10.
After configurateing proxy server in Eclipse and downloading all updates result was same as before update, 10785 errors, some of them are:

ActiveProfiles cannot be resolved to a type
ActiveProfilesResolver cannot be resolved to a type
After cannot be resolved to a type
ApplicationPidFileWriter cannot be resolved to a type
Autowired cannot be resolved to a type

Then I installed Spring Tool Suite 4 4.11.0.RELEASE and got same set of errors.
I had more luck with IntelliJ IDEA 2021.1.2 (Community Edition) Build #IC-211.7442.40.
I managed to build project and jar file then I copied jar file on test server (CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 with OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK build 11.0.7+10, mixed mode) run jar file and result was error:

I have even tried with Apache NetBeans IDE 12.0 result of building project in NetBeans is:

> Task :compileJava NO-SOURCE
> Task :processResources NO-SOURCE
> Task :classes UP-TO-DATE
> Task :jar UP-TO-DATE
> Task :assemble UP-TO-DATE
> Task :build
> Task :common:rina-commons:compileJava FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':common:rina-commons:compileJava'.
> Could not target platform: 'Java SE 11' using tool chain: 'JDK 8 (1.8)'.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 8s

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    I have opened project in IntelliJ IDEA clicked on Gradle sidebar:

    enter image description here

    Right click on build; Chose "Modify run configuration..." On configuration tab in Argument field enter -x test; Click OK. Double click on build which will generate jar file.


  2. The java version on which your Server is running should be the same version your jar is build with. Your error message "Unsupported class file major version 59" does indikate this for me usually. There are a lot of Threads concerning this:

    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 59

    android launch issues. Unsupported class file major version 57
