Any Idea ?

[philwebb]

What version of Spring Boot did you use to create the JAR and version of java is running on your colleagues machine?

[abhinavlele]

I used jdk 7, but my colleague has a lower version.

[philwebb]

my colleague has a lower version

Could you be a bit more specific :)

What does the following show on their machine?
$ java -version

[abhinavlele]

Jdk 6.3

Abhinav

[dsyer]

What happens if you both use the same version of Java?

[abhinavlele]

It works for jdk 7. Is jdk 6 not supported ?

[dsyer]

Java 6 is supported by Spring and Spring Boot, as long as you don't use any Java 7 specific features. It works for me and I normally only use 1.6. Could you try again with a new snapshot?

I had the same issue. 0.5.0.M6 doesn't work on some of my boxes. Switching to 0.5.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT works, so something between must have fixed it.

If we can pin down a passing/failing test case based on versions, git bisect can then find the commit.

Almost certainly something in d2678e0 that fixed it. Thanks for testing with the SNAPSHOT.
