Trouble running on command line?

Question

Java

If you start the program with a double click, it starts. But, if you try to run it on the command line, then errors appear:

C:\Users\pthon\YandexDisk\Java\out\artifacts\Java_jar>java -jar Java.jar
Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

Answer 1

You are using Java 8 on the command line, but you compiled the program with Java 12. Either run with Java 12 as well, or specify the -target 8 option when compiling .

And if you use Maven, like this:

<project
  xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" 
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

  <properties>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
  </properties>
  ...
</project>
