sbtproguardjava-8

ProGuard says Unsupported class version number [52.0] (maximum 51.0, Java 1.7) with sbt-proguard

I'm on Mac OS X 10.9.2 and sbt 0.13.3-SNAPSHOT (built from the sources), Java 8 and sbt-proguard 0.2.2 plugin.

sbt 0.13.3-SNAPSHOT 

[jacek]> sbtVersion
[info] 0.13.3-SNAPSHOT

Java 8

$ /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -version
java version "1.8.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode)

project/plugins.sbt

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-proguard" % "0.2.2")

When I ran proguard:proguard in sbt shell it blew up with the following exception:

Why could be the reason for the error?

Solution

  • It appears that ProGuard and hence sbt-proguard don't support Java 8 yet and changing the version of Java used in the script to launch sbt helped.

    [sbt-updates]> show proguard:proguard

    This is with the following version of Java 7:
