This error message is Java’s painfully obscure way of telling you that there’s a mismatch between the version of Java your executable was compiled with and the version you’re trying to run it with. I use this SO question as my cheat sheet for decrypting the version numbers.
Basically, you’re trying to use Java 8 to run something that was compiled with Java 11, and it just won’t work. You need to upgrade your Java install.
