Unable to copile scala anymore (from 2016.3 to 2017.1 )

Hello,

 

I tried to update from 2016.3 to the latest 2017.1 yesterday.

From then I got the following error whenever I try to open one my scala projects.

Error:scalac: Error: org/jetbrains/jps/incremental/ModuleLevelBuilder$ExitCode : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

I guess it has something to do with java version and scala but I can't figure it out

Please make sure that Settings / Languages / Scala Compiler Server / JVM uses Java 8 (you may need to restart the compiler server after changing the JVM).

 

This JVM is used solely as a runtime for the compile server, you can still use any Java version in your project.

my running java (on my dev machine) is java 8; plus intellij include a bundled runtime if remember correctly (linux version).

my target java version isn't going to chnage because of the IDE I use...

I am facing the same issue. We use java 7 for our build. Does it mean with intellij 2017.1 can't we have java 1.7?

What if I cannot switch to java 8?

Option to choose JDK for Scala Compile Server is returned in 2017.2. Currently it is available in nightly builds only:

Hi, My situation is similar to Pihentagy's where my PROD environment is Java 1.7 with scala 2.10.5. I get this error if I use java 1.7 in my Mavanproject, what are my options?

In IDEA 2017.2 try to change Scala Compile Server SDK to 1.7. Also, you may try to update to scala 2.10.6, I think some compatibility issues with 1.8 was fixed there.
