What version of java does MCProHosting run on? I'm creating a plugin and when it runs, it throws an UnsupportedClassVersionError : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 From what I read, it meant that the jar was compiled with Java 8 while the JRE runs on an older version. However, I also tested it with JDK 7 and it still threw an error.
I've heard they run 7. They don't intend to Java 8 (I had a friend ask way before, he said they replied with that.)
If you wanna change your mcProHosting Java Version rename Your jar file to custom18 so it's Java 8 and go to your control panel and change your custom jar name to custom18
I don't think that's how that works... You can run different versions of bukkit and minecraft but you can't change the Java version from a jar. And renaming won't do anything.
MCProHosting could have done something to change the java version. It's very possible, check the file name, if it ends with 18.jar then use java 8 otherwise use java 7.
