MTurk Command Line Tools Error: Bad version number in .class file - command-line

I am using the Mechanical Turk command line tools on Windows. When I try to run a command (e.g., getBalance, createQualificationType), I always get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file
Any clues as to what I could look at to fix this would be greatly appreciated!!
I have tried updating my key and secret key to no avail.
Note: I can get help for the commands by using -help, but I cannot run the commands themselves.
This error occurs whether I am running either JRE 1.5.0_06-b05, 1.5.0_22-b03, or 1.7.0_17-b02. The command line tools documentation states, "You must have the Java JRE 1.5.X (JRE 5). The Command Line Tools are not 100% compatible with JRE 6."
Since I am using the version of the command line tools packaged with JRE, I have also uninstalled my JRE. I get the same error.

UnsupportedClassVersionError means that you are trying to use a Java class that was compiled with a newer JDK on an older Java runtime environment. For example, you have a class that was compiled with JDK 7, and you are trying to use it on a Java 6 or older runtime environment.
Java is downwards compatible; newer Java runtime environments can run Java classes compiled with older versions without modifications, but not the other way around.
Check with what version the class you are trying to use was compiled, and use a Java runtime environment with the same version or newer to run the class.
You can check your Java runtime environment and JDK versions with:
java -version
javac -version

Apparently, the CLT installer installs a JRE that is too old to run the tools included in the installer. Seems like a serious bug (certainly annoying).
You can fix by installing and using a more recent JDK.
This post contains instructions on how to do so:

Why do I get IllegalStateException: Missing hosting module org.netbeans.libs.javacimpl when upgrade to Netbeans 13?

After I upgraded Netbeans from 12.6 to 13, Netbeans doesn't start. When I start it from the command line, I got the following message:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Missing hosting module org.netbeans.libs.javacimpl for fragment org.netbeans.modules.nbjavac.impl

What's the reason? How can I fix it?
This is caused by old nb-javac (Netbeans Java Compiler) modules installed in an older Netbeans version, which are incompatible with nb-javac, which is now bundled in Netbeans.
It's necessary to remove those old modules. You can find them in the Netbeans user directory. On Linux this is for example in ~/.netbeans or in ~/snap/netbeans/current, if installed as a Snap package. Those nb-javac files are in the modules directory in that directory (e.g. ~/.netbeans/modules) and include nbjavac in the name, e.g. org-netbeans-modules-nbjavac-api.jar. Delete all such files that include nbjavac. Then start Netbeans again, all should work now.
This problem was reported for a development version of Netbeans 13 on the developers' mailing list: https://www.mail-archive.com/dev#netbeans.apache.org/msg09777.html. There are original instructions that helped me to fix this issue. I wasn't using any development build of Netbeans, I just upgraded from the regular version 12.6 to the version 13 of Netbeans. In Netbeans 12.6, I installed the nb-javac plugin, which probably brought these incompatible modules that needed to be removed.

SIGSEGV signal while executing "Eclipse Application" run configuration for my Xtext project

Since my computer has been updated to Mojave (macOS), I get the following error when I am trying to execute an Xtext project (Run As -> Eclipse Application):
A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Eclipse DSL Tools, v: 2018-09 (4.9.0), Build id: 20180917-1800
java version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16 LTS, Oracle one
What I have tested:
Running the ulimit -c unimited command
Reinstalling Eclipse
Reinstalling my JDK. I also tested on OpenJDK.
Running on a fresh computer. I don't have the bug on macOs Sierra.
I tested the solution mention here:

Thanks for your help.
#Christian Dietrich: many thanks for the link!
Here the current workaround explained in the link: to add the '-nosplash' in Arguments tab of run configuration.

Error when open eclipse - MAC

I have installed eclipse on my iMac and when I try to open it, it gives me this error:
Failed to find a Main Class in
"/Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS//../Eclipse/ plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.0.v20180512-1130.jar".
On my MacBook Pro, everything works fine, but I have done nothing different.
I have checked other posts, but most of them refer to a windows OS. There was an answer which said that it can just open when everything is in an English folder and this is true for me!
Thanking you in advance!
I came across this error after installing Eclipse PDT.
Open your terminal and run the version command: java -version.
If your java version is below 1.8, you will have to update your Java
Runtime Environment to at least 1.8.0 by installing an updated JDK
here.
Then re-run the java version command and your version
should be updated.
You should now be able to install and run
Eclipse.
I have the same issue, but on my MacBookPro. I first installed eclipse Photon, which when starting up prompted me to install Java 6, which I did from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
Then I also installed the latest JRE (jre-8u171-macosx-x64 as of yesterday). When running eclipse again I started getting this error. Then I tried to run from the command line, and got this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/eclipse/equinox/launcher/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
When googling that, the answers said that the reason for that is that the Oracle installer does not update the symlink in /usr/bin, which seemed to be confirmed by the fact that running java -version returned this:
java -version
java version "1.6.0_65"
The solutions I found for that were not feasible in MacOS starting in version El Capitan, and I am on High Sierra, so I followed the instructions in this post to fix that, and it worked, now I get:
java -version
java version "1.8.0_171"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode)
After all of this, however, I get the same "Failed to find a Main Class" error on the dialog as reported initially here, and the same "UnsupportedClassVersionError" on the CLI that I had when the system was still on java 6, so now I am still stuck and out of ideas.
EDIT: FIXED IT!!
I kept thinking that the problem was the java version, it was somehow still using java 6 (which I had installed due to the initial prompt).
So I followed the instructions here to remove what I had installed for the alleged java 6 issue. Then I found this post in the eclipse forums, which stated at the end (comment added by Eric Rizzo on Tue, 14 February 2017 21:56) that this is not an Eclipse message, but rather an OS message, and that one should NOT do that as apple messed things up with that patch. And then it goes to explain that one should install java 8 JDK (NOT just the JRE as I had done). Once I removed Java 6 and installed the full java 8 JDK, it ran fine :)
You can edit the eclipse.ini with your vm configuration in the beginning of the file
-vm
/yourJvmPath/jdk-12.0.1.jdk/bin/java
cat /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini
-vm
/Users/SomeUser/jdk-12.0.1.jdk/bin/java
-startup
../Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.400.v20190515-0925.jar
--launcher.library
../Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.1000.v20190125-2016
PD. It works with ApacheDirectoryStudio for MAC
This one works for me with MAC OS Mojave.

Unity - Failed to compile resources with the following parameters:

I'm working on adding Google Play Game Services to a Unity project.
Started getting these errors recently, however not sure if it is because of the Game Services, or could be I updated my machine.

Got my answer, the issue was that "major version 51" is java 1.7, "version 50" is java 1.6. The solution was to install Java 1.7 and set path accordingly with the following command.
sudo ln -nsf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
For me, changing the JDK path at Preferences => External Tools => JDK finally resolved this issue. Creating the symbolic link wasn't enough or possibly not even needed.
I would just re-install or update JDK , And its work

what is the way to install the basic4android

I installed the jre7 and jdk1.7 and android sdk and avd manager perfectly my emulator is working properly but when i run the program which i wrote it is showing
Compiling code. 0.11
Compiling layouts code. 0.02
Generating R file. 0.00
Compiling generated Java code. Error
javac 1.7.0_17
javac: file not found: src\com\empire\designerscripts\*.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
i newly formatted my system installed these
I am using basic4android in my laptop without any problem but in case of my desktop system it is showing the above error...
I have understood from Erel that this is fixed with Basic4Android v2.50 or above. One can also instead install the latest Java 6 version and use it for compilation.
The use of Java 6 was successful in my case.
I think that the problem is with the jdk that you are running. Try with jdk1.6.0_25. I use this one and never update this version because the version 7 have some issues with security.
