ProGuard says Unsupported class version number [52.0] (maximum 51.0, Java 1.7) with sbt-proguard

Question

I\'m on Mac OS X 10.9.2 and sbt 0.13.3-SNAPSHOT (built from the sources), Java 8 and sbt-proguard 0.2.2 p

Answer 1

It appears that ProGuard and hence sbt-proguard don't support Java 8 yet and changing the version of Java used in the script to launch sbt helped.

[sbt-updates]> show proguard:proguard

This is with the following version of Java 7:
