Problem with java version

[Jennifer03]

I can't upgrade to java 8 and sphinx4 to work with java8. I am getting following error while running TranscriberDemo ::

TranscriberDemo.java Class is as below

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("Loading models...");

        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();

        // Load model from the jar

            for (String s : result.getNbest(3))
                System.out.println(s);

        }
        recognizer.stopRecognition();

        // Live adaptation to speaker with speaker profiles

        stream = TranscriberDemo.class

            stats.collect(result);
        }
        recognizer.stopRecognition();

        // Transform represents the speech profile
        Transform transform = stats.createTransform();
        recognizer.setTransform(transform);

        // Decode again with updated transform
        stream = TranscriberDemo.class

I am running my program : Run As -> Java Application

It seems you are trying to run the code compiled with Java 8 in Java 7 JRE. Make sure your java runtime is also upgraded.

To get more help on this issue provide more information about how do you compile and run java code. Are you using IDE or command line, what are options and so on.

[nshmyrev]

Ok, I understood what you meant from your SO question. I have committed an update to set version to Java 7 and pushed jars, if you update it should work now.

@nshmyrev I have updated my project but still getting same error. Also i have updated my question.

[nshmyrev]

Please run mvn install -U, it should update sphinx4 jars. You can also delete sphinx4 jars from you local .m2 repo
