    Hello users, I have been trying to get the V-module video processing suite to work for awhile now, but whenever I open a patch with java objects I get the bellow errors in my max window. I have little experience with Java and am a bit confused where to start. I have Java 6SE currently, and believe have all of the required objects in the correct max paths.
    Thanks

      The UnsupportedClassVersionError means that the class files you're trying to load were compiled for a newer version of the JVM than the one you're running. Java 6 corresponds to class file version 50, so perhaps the code you're trying to load was compiled under Java 7?

      ...and since you are on Mac, you will need to go get the Oracle Java 7 : http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_mac.xml ...and I hope yhen all is well with MXJ ... I have not done this.

      In fact this external (used for the 3D camera movements) has been compiled in Java 7.
      PS: in alternative to using the Java based version (devices V-GMove3DW-xxx), older patch-only style versions (no Java external involved) are still available in the Legacy sub-folders. The device names are the same, only with a "-o" in their name (old versions). Functionally identical, only a bit less CPU friendly.
      Cheers Fabrizio
