Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError

Today, using Cygwin on my windows environment, I was trying to execute the following simple program:

class hellotext

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

System.out.println("Hello World!");

}

}

And I was seeing:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: hellotext (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

Now what’s wrong with this simple program?

Nothing really! It’s actually a problem with the environment.

If I do java –version and javac –version, then it returns different versions and that's the issue. 

Everything worked fine when I removed the duplicate JAVA from my system using Control Panel.
