title: businessobjects sdk java compatibility java version
body: <p>Ok I am trying to make an SDK app and I am working with the newest Java version (I believe Java 8u60) and I have installed SAP BI 4.1 SP 6 on a VM.  When I ran my program first from the BOE scheduling functionality, I got this error</p>
