Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 in dfc code

We are getting below error message while uploading documents in repo using the dfc 7.2 code.

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/documentum/mailapp/operations/inbound/DfSeparateAttachments : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

Solution:

1. Upgrade the Java Runtime:
   • Install Java 8 or a higher version on the machine where you’re running the code.
   • Ensure that the Java 8 runtime is set as the default Java version.
   • To check the current Java version, you can run: java -version
   • After upgrading, re-run your application to verify that it no longer encounters the error.
2. Recompile the Code with an Older Java Version (if upgrading is not an option):
   • If you must use an older Java version, recompile the code with a compatible version (e.g., Java 7).
   • Set the Java compiler to target an older version using the -source and -target flags:
     • javac -source 1.7 -target 1.7 YourClass.java
   • Note that this option may not be feasible if the code relies on Java 8 features, which are incompatible with older versions.

Summary

The easiest solution is to upgrade your runtime to Java 8 or higher, which should resolve the UnsupportedClassVersionError.
