#1 Trouble running

Thanks for that hint. I studies the PBN documentation, but may have overlooked this issue. And the only program I have (Bridge Composer) has not complained. Please continue exploring! Thanks!

The PBN files created using this program fail with syntax errors when I try to import them into my bridge program. I've checked a few simple PBN files using the pbnverifier app and consistently found the following errors:
1) a space at the end of the deal line, before the closing quote
2) the dealer should be specified as E not East

There may be other syntax issues, but this is as far as I have explored.

Yes, sorry. Java is always developing, but not always downwards compatible. This program is used by only very few users. So, I did not go through the hassles of testing compatibility with Java 8. I suggest installing the most recent Java version. It is indeed possible to have two Java versions on one computer, and use the proper one via a batch or command file.

For anybody else encountering this problem I was able to solve it by downloading the latest Java SDK version 22 which includes a newer JRE then Java 8.

C:\Users\david\Downloads\package> java -jar bridge.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: renegrothmann/bridgereplay/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 62.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

I'm using Version 8 Update 411 on Windows 11 PC which I downloaded and installed today. When I check for updates it says I have the latest version.
