I have implemented a pagerank algorithm using Java/NetBeans and I have build the .jar file to execute it in hadoop.
While trying to execute it i came up with this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Pagerank : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

With a little search I found that there might be Java version compatibility problem. Now i use the hadoop 1.04 version with Java 1.6. I changed my NetBeans project to use the same version.
Regarding some .jar libraries I included in my project all of them are taken from my hadoop installation archives except from one (hadoop-core) which I had to download manually from MavenRepository (http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.hadoop/hadoop-core). I downloaded the 1.0.4 version which is the Hadoop version I use.
With all that said, things seem pretty compatible to me, but then again I'm new in using Hadoop and I hope I can get some insight on the issue.
