Anyone know how to fix this error when trying to build? A bit of searching suggests I have the wrong version of something somewhere. Using Java version 16, which appears to be the most recent version, and according to this, it's the version that corresponds to class version 60...

Airbyte runs on java 14 as specified here: https://docs.airbyte.io/architecture/tech-stack would there have been a better place to put this info to help you get started?

I think it's mostly that I don't know what all is relevant. I'm new to Java. I have enough background in other languages, and particularly C#, to intuit the language itself pretty well, but the surrounding tooling? Not so much.
u
If this were a C# project, the runtime version would be built into the project file and handled automagically by the build system. Looks like that's not the case here.
u
OK, after changing the project's JDK version to 14, the same problem is still occurring.
u
what did you change with the project? FWIW you will need to install JDK 14 on your workstation and point
JAVA_HOME
to it rather than changing some project-level config
u
you shouldn’t need to change anything with the project
u
changed this ⬆️
u
I see, and the error is ocurring when you run something from intellij?
u
what is your
JAVA_HOME
pointing to?
u
echo $JAVA_HOME
u
Looks like I don't have that env var set
u
can we quickly pair on this? i’m guessing it’ll be faster than guessing over chat
u
sure
