EAP build 618 - cannot compile against API using 1.4.2

[epalazzo]

EAP build 618, win2k

The docs say the API requires Java 1.4 or better, but when I try to compile a test class with 1.4.2.08 against the API, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

[loading C:\Program Files\YourKit Java Profiler 4.5 EAP build 618\lib\yjp.jar(com/yourkit/api/Controller.class)]
./YourKitTest.java:3: cannot access com.yourkit.api.Controller
bad class file: C:\Program Files\YourKit Java Profiler 4.5 EAP build 618\lib\yjp.jar(com/yourkit/api/Controller.class)
class file has wrong version 49.0, should be 48.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
import com.yourkit.api.Controller;

Works fine with if I compile my class with 1.5, but I need to test with 1.4.

This just bit me, too. It sure would be nice to get a build that fixes this....

Docs are out of date. Java 5.0 is required now.

Hi,

Actually, the previous infromation that Java 5.0 is required to use the profiler API was not 100% correct.

The part of API to control profiling (class Controller) works with Java 1.4.
Please make sure you use yjp-controller-api-redist.jar, _not_ yjp.jar

Parts of the API for memory snapshot analysis indeed require Java 5.0.

Best regards,
Anton

Thanks, I'll try that.

This is working fine now that I used the other API.

Thanks for the help!
