Java版本不兼容问题：UnsupportedClassVersionError（class文件版本55.0 vs 52.0）

问题描述

系统未安装Java 11，环境变量、Eclipse构建路径、Eclipse Java编译器级别均设置为Java 8，但编译运行时出现错误：class文件版本为55.0，应为52.0。此前升级Chrome至122版本后，同步更新了Selenium到4.17.0、WebDriver到5.6.3以保证兼容性，当前抛出java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError错误。

错误栈信息

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: testrunners/MyTestRunner has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

问题根源

POM.xml中<java.version>配置为11，Maven编译插件会以此版本编译代码，生成Java 11对应的class文件（版本号55.0），但运行时环境是Java 8（仅支持最高版本52.0），导致版本不兼容。

解决步骤

修改POM.xml的Java版本
将<properties>中的<java.version>从11改为8：
```
<java.version>8</java.version>
```
由于maven-compiler-plugin的source和target参数引用了该变量，修改后编译插件会自动使用Java 8进行编译。
清理并重新编译项目
在项目根目录执行以下Maven命令：
```
mvn clean install
```
或者在Eclipse中操作：右键项目 → Run As → Maven Clean，完成后再右键项目 → Run As → Maven Install，彻底清除旧的class文件并重新编译。
验证依赖兼容性
检查已更新的依赖对Java 8的支持情况：
- Selenium 4.17.0+、WebDriverManager 5.6.3均支持Java 8，无需降级
- Cucumber 6.9.0、Apache POI等依赖也兼容Java 8，无需调整版本
确认Eclipse的Maven运行环境
确保Eclipse中Maven使用的JRE为Java 8：
- 打开Window → Preferences → Maven → Installations，检查Maven关联的JRE是否为Java 8
- 右键项目 → Properties → Build Path → Libraries，确认所有JRE System Library都是Java 8
- 右键项目 → Properties → Java Compiler，再次确认Compiler compliance level设置为1.8
