The reason is the extension may not catch up the support for the latest release yet.\r\n\r\nHere is a typical error message. \r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14052197/78854443-ed47c780-7a53-11ea-8317-d8b097dfba99.png)\r\n\r\n`57` is targeting to java 13, and `57.65535` is for java 13 preview.  similarly `58` is for java 14. Usually high versions are backward compatible with older versions. JVM 14 can run java 13 (**57**), but it doesn't support the old preview version (**57.65535**). The [openjdk](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) website has claimed the reason that it would be costly for JDK 14 to support preview features from JDK 13 which were changed or dropped in response to feedback.\r\n\r\nReproduce steps:\r\n- Installed Language Support for Java extension 0.58.0. (Java extension starts to support JDK 14 since 0.59.0).\r\n- Install JDK 14 and set it to \"java.home\" user settings.\r\n- Run standalone java files in VS Code, the output will throw the UnsupportedClassVersionError.\r\n\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/testforstephen","@type":"Person","name":"testforstephen"},"datePublished":"2020-04-09T03:21:35.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/789/vscode-java-debug/issues/789"}
