I'm trying to compile a Java source code with javac in a Linux terminal allocated in a machine that I have not permission to modify its Java version. Now it has 1.7.0_111 version, and the result I obtained is:

enter image description here

How can I manage to compile my code? Is there any manner to compile my source code using compatibility mode?

Thank you.

    Please copy and paste all the text from the terminal into the question - only the text is relevant, and it's *much* easier to see text when it's posted *as* text. – Jon Skeet May 05 '17 at 19:03
  • It seems you're trying to make an older version of `java` to run a program compiled by a much newer `javac` compiler. If you have the source, you can compile it with the `--source` and `--target` parameters to comply with the version you will run it. – Edwin Dalorzo May 05 '17 at 19:05

The code is actually compiled with JDK 8 and you want to execute it with Java 7.
You cannot.

If you code doesn't use specificities from Java 8, you could compile it with as Java target, the Java 7 version.

For example : 

javac -source 1.7 -target 1.7  ...

Otherwise you are stuck.
