server fails to start

[kavsha]

i have downloaded the spring dm server zip file and have extracted into c:\spring-dm-server folder on windows xp machine.

i ran the startup.bat from the bin directory, but i am getting this error

C:\springsource-dm-server\bin>startup.bat -clean
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/springsou

The "Unsupported major.minor version 49.0" indicates that the classes you try to execute are newer than your JRE you try to run them in. So, make sure that the JRE in your classpath is at least version 1.5.
