Java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError while using java mail api

Question

Hi Everybody ,
I am new comer to this forum , and would like to be an active member.
I am getting this error while trying to use the java mail api to send an email using smtp.
The error is as follows :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: javax/mail/Message (Unsupported major.minor version 48.0)
Can Anyone please tell where I am wrong.
I am using the following code
==============================================================
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.abc.com");
// create some properties and get the default Session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
session.setDebug(debug);
// create a message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
// set the from and to address
InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
// Optional : You can also set your custom headers in the Email if you Want
msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");
// Setting the Subject and Content Type
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
Transport.send(msg);

Hi Philip ,
Thanks for the prompt reply , I had installed oracle client services which overid my jdk1.4 installation with jdk1.3 and hence the error. I changed my classpath settings to point to jdk1.4 and it owrked properly.
Thanks once again.
