如何在JDK 1.7中使用Scala？ （不支持的major.minor 52.0错误）

Question

this "unsupported major.minor 52.0 version" error is driving me nuts.

How can I get scala to use jdk 1.7. My SBT project needs to be 1.7 and I cannot run sbt or scala unless I set my java_home to 1.8.

My google foo is not strong since there are so many results for this vague-keyword problem.

Do I need to install different version of scala? sbt?

Thanks,

Scala 2.12 requires a Java 8 JVM and library . You will either have to use a current version of Java or an outdated version of Scala.

Traits now compile to interface s with default methods, and Scala lambdas use the same encoding as Java 8 lambdas do. Java 8 lambdas are mostly a library feature and could be backported , but method implementations in interfaces are a backwards-incompatible change to the bytecode language.
