error with serialization with protobuf

问题

I'm trying to serialize a structure with protobuf. after many hours trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong I decided to test the google's example and it didn't worked as well

I have the following protocol from google (https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/javatutorial):

package tutorial;
option java_package = "com.example.tutorial";
option java_outer_classname = "AddressBookProtos";

message Person {
    required string name = 1;
    required int32 id = 2;
    optional string email = 3;
    repeated PhoneNumber phone = 4;

    enum PhoneType {
        MOBILE = 0;
        HOME = 1;
        WORK = 2;
    }

    message PhoneNumber {
        required string number = 1;
        optional PhoneType type = 2 [default = HOME];
    }
}

message AddressBook {
    repeated Person person = 1;
}

and I'm trying to serialize it with:

Person john = Person.newBuilder()   
    .setId(1234)
    .setName("John Doe")
    .setEmail("jdoe@example.com")
    .addPhone(
        Person.PhoneNumber.newBuilder()
            .setNumber("555-4321")
            .setType(Person.PhoneType.HOME))
    .build();

byte[] serialized = john.toByteArray();

and I get "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: This is supposed to be overridden by subclasses."

Thanks;

As Marc said, A mismatch in Protocol Buffer versions will give you this exact message. In particular if

The .proto definition is converted to java using the 2.4.3 (or earlier) protoc.exe
You use the 2.5.0 protobuffers library

you will get this message in many methods (e.g. getParserForType, getUnknownFields) of class GeneratedMessage. There are no doubt other potential mismatch's that will cause this error

With protocol buffers 2.5.0 it is essential you regenerate all java classes with the 2.5.0 version of protoc (or on windows protoc.exe).

If you do the reverse - run code generated by protoc version 2.5 with the libraries for protocol buffers version 2.4. You will get the following message

java.lang.VerifyError: class xxx.xxx.xx.. 
overrides final method getUnknownFields.()Lcom/google/protobuf/UnknownFieldSet;
