I'm getting LinkageError: bad major version at offset=6, while deploying app on S60 Emulator

Question

I actually developing J2ME project using S60 SDK, my project gives me the error,

Uncaught exception!
com.ibm.oti.error.LinkageError: (com/yoke/symbian/YokeApp) bad major version at offset=6

-VM verbose connection exited

Because I'm changing compliance level of project from 1.3 to 1.6 (I've installed) from ProjectProperties -> Javacompiler.

Basically when I'm creating new project from git repository it default comes with compliance level 1.3 so, I changed it.

Because in two classes I'm using String... & @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")

This error continue if I change back compliance level to 1.3.

I don't understand why it's happening. I exactly can't sort out. But the only way I found is to create new project.

Please help.

Answer 1

Stop using annotations and go back to Compliance level 1.3.

java-me development does not support Compliance level 1.5.

java-me code does not support annotations.

Answer 2

I actually solve that error and now using jdk1.3 for projects in eclipse. thanks to QuickRecipesOnSymbianOS.

I've download and install jdk1.3.3 and supply it in eclipse preferences ->Java -> Installed JREs (path of the folder containing installed jdk). Instead of providing jre folder provide complete jdk folder. It will added to build path of your project.

After installation don't forget to set environment variable.
