UnsupportedClassVersionError

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• UnsupportedClassVersionError is thrown when the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) encounters a class file with an unsupported version.

• This error indicates that the class file was compiled with a newer version of Java than the one being used to run it.

• It extends ClassFormatError and provides two constructors: one with no detail message and one with a specified message.

• Inherited methods provide functionalities for stack trace handling, error messages, and cause analysis, common to Throwable objects.

public class UnsupportedClassVersionError extends ClassFormatError

Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the major and minor version numbers in the file are not supported.

Public Constructor Summary

	UnsupportedClassVersionError() Constructs a UnsupportedClassVersionError with no detail message.
	UnsupportedClassVersionError(String s) Constructs a UnsupportedClassVersionError with the specified detail message.

StackTraceElement[]	getStackTrace() Provides programmatic access to the stack trace information printed by printStackTrace().
synchronized final Throwable[]	getSuppressed() Returns an array containing all of the exceptions that were suppressed, typically by the try-with-resources statement, in order to deliver this exception.
synchronized Throwable	initCause(Throwable cause) Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value.
void	printStackTrace() Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream.
void	printStackTrace(PrintWriter s) Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.
void	printStackTrace(PrintStream s) Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
void	setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] stackTrace) Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by getStackTrace() and printed by printStackTrace() and related methods.
String	toString() Returns a short description of this throwable.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
