SikuliX

[1.1.1] macOS 10.13.2: SikuliX app not running --- must be Java 7 or 8

Asked by Mavis Beacon

Trying to run SikuliX 1.1.1 on Mac OSX 10.13.2 High Sierra.
I installed jre-8u151-macosx-x64.dmg
When double clicking on SikuliX icon in Applications folder nothing happens.

On right click, show package contents, run: the following results:

check your SikuliX installation.

In doubt purge everything and start again:

I am writing this answer sitting in front of an iMac running macOS 10.13.2 with Java 8 ;-)

Greetings, I followed the quickstart instructions, also followed the link to download Java 8 (jre-8u151-macosx-x64.dmg).
I reinstalled Sikuli into Home\Sikuli
Double clicking Sikuli does nothing

If I click runsikuli it gives me the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/sikuli/ide/Sikulix : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

java -version in terminal results:

java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-468)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-468, mixed mode)

you either need a Java version 7 or 8 and the JRE is sufficient,
