There are several possibilities:

1. Your compiler might have been a Higher version of Java. So the class is compiled at a higher version.

2. Your runtime environment is running in a minor version, so it cannot recognise the class version.

Vice versa is also possible.

Check for these possibilities.

Thanks and regards,
