@tdp_org linux? there should be an openjdk package in your disto's list. Mac? dunno. Win? Get one from Chocolatey or similar.
Don't use Oracle's downloads. If they find you they'll set the lawyer's on you
@tdp_org @falken@qoto.org https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk#zulu is a good source of openjdk for a wide range of platforms - avoiding the Oracle sales droids.
@tdp_org Java class file version of 52 corresponds to Java 8, which is ancient. Looks like you are trying to run code compiled for Java 11.
I doubt you actually downloaded Java 8, so it might be more of a $PATH problem.
Its also likely that your distro has a version of Java greater than 11 in its package manager too, I try that first.
@tdp_org baffling, I have no idea why java.com only provides a 10 year old release.
Where as the oracle site gives you an upto date release:

Got to love Oracle and there approach to communities.
