executing ant clean, Build Failed, Wrong java Version

Question

I am trying to install hybris, but while installing I face a problem in executing ant clean command.

I am using the latest version of java which should work. I have also used setantenv.bat in the right path.

here is the stack trace :

Answer 1

check this one

try this instead, adding java version in util.xml under platfrom folder. worked for me!

Answer 2

In eclipse go to platform - build.xml - right click on it - go to run as - external tools configuration - go to jre tab - add in separate jre the required jre version - add the build.xml file again to ant and run it

Answer 3

Since you were able to get Hybris working with JDK 7, it appears that Java JDK version 1.8.0_40 does not have backwards compatibility/support for Hybris 5.2.0.6. You may want to open a bug with Hybris if you are feeling entrepid.
