That means that your JDBC driver was compiled for JRE 1.5, and your JRE
is older than that.

Run "java -version" to see your JDK version, and download the
appropriate JDBC driver. See
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html#jdbcselection for a list of
compatible JDK and driver versions.

Or you can upgrade your JDK to 1.5 or newer.
