23:33:21.506 [main] ERROR com.castsoftware.castil.translation.Main - java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/eclipse/jdt/core/dom/FileASTRequestor : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
SecurityForJava is compiled with Java 8 syntax (JavaSE 8 = 52, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file) and uses the JRE provided in the CAST installation path. - Check the version of JRE present in the installation folder, if the JRE present is lesser than 8 then we will have the above error.
- The JRE version 8 is present in the flat since version 8.3.10 (before this version 8.3.10, the JRE was version 7).
So, we will have an error in the definition of the SecurityForJava extension: it works with CASTAIP >= 8.3.10 only. - If you are using 8.3.3 which contains Java 7 and hence SecurityForJava is crashing with an unsupported version, upgrade to a higher version and run the analysis.
- If this does not solve the problem, contact CAST Technical Support with the following Relevant Input.
