When I try to run my program -using the comm api and native win32comm.dll, I get the
following error:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: comportize/Comportize (Unsupported major.minor
version 49.0)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:539)

The javadocs tell: Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file
and determines that the major and minor version numbers in the file are not supported

Can anybody explain?

thanks

Sounds like you compiled with JDK 1.5 and are trying to run with a 1.4 or
earlier JRE. If you are using 1.5 features, you will need to use a 1.5
JRE. If not, you can still compile with 1.5, but you will need to specify
1.4 (or earlier) for the -source and -target options.
