We can use the javap utility that comes with the standard JDK.
javap -verbose MyClass
Compiled from “MyClass.java”
public class MyClass extends java.lang.Object
SourceFile: “MyClass.java”
minor version: 3
major version: 45
The major version tells the Java version used. Here are some example values:
- Java 1.2 uses major version 46
- Java 1.3 uses major version 47
- Java 1.4 uses major version 48
- Java 5 uses major version 49
- Java 6 uses major version 50
- Java 7 uses major version 51
