I just downloaded a grails project from svn.
I saw that the unsupported major.minor version is a well known problem on S.O. caused by a mismatch version of JDK used during runtime and compile time.
But I am using the very same version as below:
shell:
JAVA Build Path:
Installed JRE:
Please what am I missing for still having the below error?

Compilation error: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/sun/tools/javac/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
I run it via rightclick on project -> run-as -> grailsCommand (run-app)
The project was compiled using a newer version of JDK but is being run at an older version. Clean all your code and rebuild the project.
Sometimes this is due to a plugin whose binary has been compiled with a higher version of Java.
