DSC Deployment Issue

When using the LiveCycle Component tool as I've blogged about in the past, sometimes you'll run into class issues when deploying your dsc to either a LiveCycle 8.2 or ES2 server that looks like the following:
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file

What you can do to rectify this is to specify the version that your javac task is targeting like so:

<target name="compile" depends="prepare">
<javac destdir="${classes.dir}" classpathref="class.path" debug="on" deprecation="on" optimize="off" target="1.5">
<src path="${src.dir}"/>
</javac>
</target>
