lein run-client gives "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0"

noodle% lein run-client 
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/eclipse/jetty/server/Handler : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Please let me know what other info I can provide to help diagnose this. Thanks!

I'm guessing this is because lein-httpd (which is the simple little webserver I included to serve up static files in the dev profile) uses Jetty 9, which requires Java 1.7 (a.k.a. 51.0).

Are you using Java 1.7? If not, you can either switch to Java 1.7 or use some other dev web server.

installing java 1.7 helped. Thanks!

Glad to hear it!
