Google closure compiler for java 8

Question

which Google closure compiler version is for java 8?

Tried v20220905 version:

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/google/javascript/jscomp/CommandLineRunner has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

Answer 1

You didn't provide much information. Anyway, the problem is linked to the version of the JDK your using.

Required Java version in 55 - ie Java 11 (or more) Your JDK version is 52 - ie Java 8

You should upgrade you JDK (or use a version of this lib that support Java 8).

Answer 2

According to the docs version v20220502 is the last version compiled against Java8. (The next version requires java 11)
