You encounter this error when the version of the Java environment and the `javac` you are using are different, because the Catalyst CLI only compiles the Java classes at runtime.

You can check the Java version by executing the following command in your terminal:

```sh
$ java -version
```

Similarly, you can check the `javac` version by executing the command in your terminal:

```sh
$ javac -version
```
