MOBAC 2.0 requires Java 7.

[Sarah King]

I'm running java7 update 67
see https://cloudup.com/cihWOjQXHD0

[r_x]

But you have also Java 1.6 installed and for executing MOBAC you are using Java 1.6.0_65.

[Sarah King]

OK, that sucks.
Anyway to tell the command line which version to use?

In the meantime I'll go and google how the f*** to get rid of the ice-age version of java

[r_x]

If you have multiple Java versions you have multiple java executables installed. find it and use the absolute path to it ("/usr/bin/java" for example), not just "java". The exact path depends on your system, I can not help you on that topic.

[Sarah King]

thanks r_x

For the record
Settings shows Java's JRE version
The terminal's java -version command shows the JDK version. I needed to download the right jdk and got past this error.
