3.0-SNAPSHOT: class file has wrong version 60.0, should be 55.0

I tried upgrading from 2.3.2-j8 to 3.0-SNAPSHOT. I changed my pom versions and added the snapshot repositories. However, when I run mvn package I get this error:

bad class file: /Users/.../.m2/repository/org/javalite/activejdbc/3.0-SNAPSHOT/activejdbc-3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar(/org/javalite/activejdbc/ModelDelegate.class)
    class file has wrong version 60.0, should be 55.0

To investigate further, I downloaded the latest 3.0-SNAPSHOT jar from here: https://oss.sonatype.org/#nexus-search;gav~org.javalite~activejdbc-instrumentation~~~~kw,versionexpand

Then I ran:

$ jar xf activejdbc-instrumentation-3.0-20220106.015318-160.jar
$ cd org/javalite/activejdbc
$ file DBProxy.class
DBProxy.class: compiled Java class data, version 60.0

I think version 55 is Java 11, which I'm running locally, and version 60 is Java 16. https://javalite.io/releases refers to 3.0 as the Java 11 version. Should 3.0-SNAPSHOT work with Java 11?

@crummy 3.0-SNAPSHOTis only for Java 16. The version of JavaLite for Java 11: https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.javalite/javalite/3.0-j11/pom was released in April 2021 and did not get any new stuff back-ported to it since it was released.

@crummy this is my fault, so sorry. The version 3.0-SNAPSHOT is built for Java 16. We are focusing all our efforts on it, and consider v8 and v11 "legacy". I had incorrect info on the website, but it is now fixed: https://javalite.io/releases#latest-snapshots :(

All good. We've moved to 17 now anyway, so fine with this outcome. Thanks!
