I am trying to consume a Compose Multiplatform lib...

# compose-desktop

I am trying to consume a Compose Multiplatform library I published and I am having an error on Desktop. (all other platforms work great)

the error is "MenuKt has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 61.0

How do i resolve this? do i need to change something in the library or is it something on the way i run the jvm app?

Judging by what the exception says you might be restricted to only consume the library from a specific version of java(unless you recompile it with a lower jdk version). I am not sure how the java .class binary interface version match to the JVM/JRE version, must be somewhere on the Internet 🤷‍♂️

Use java 21 to run the application. Java 17 only supports up to format 61.

Or better yet, compile with Java 17

thank for the input folks. resolved it by compiling with Java 17.
