Maven Central Jar Compiled with Java 1.8?

[KAllan357]

When I switch my application to use the latest 1.0.1 version of this jar and pull it from Maven Central, I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/amazon/sqs/javamessaging/ExtendedClientConfiguration : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0, compiling:(/tmp/form-init8767020834767061108.clj:1:73)

I see in the pom.xml the compiler plugin is set to use Java 1.7 - is it possible though that the jar pushed to Maven Central was built with the wrong JDK?

For what it's worth, if I clone this repo and build it using my 1.7 JDK, I stop experiencing the error.

Thanks!

This got me too. Viewing bytes 7-8 of a class file associated w/ this jar shows '34 03' hexadecimal which I believe maps to java 8 per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file#General_layout
