Answer 1

You are trying to run an application with a JVM with a lower version number than the class was compiled with. Class version 52.0 equates to Java 1.8, and you are probably using 1.7, 1.6 or even lower. There will be no problem running it with a 1.8 or higher VM.

You can check your VM version by executing java -version .
