Filebot Not Starting Ubuntu 14.04

[bc123]

Hi, I am running Ubuntu 14.04. I bought the software previously and was having problems. So I have uninstalled and reinstalled using the instructions at the bottom. The application doesn't open, testing in the command line I get the exception below.

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

update-java-alternatives -l
java-7-oracle 12 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle

Exception:

filebot -clear-cache -clear-prefs
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/filebot/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

Installation:

$ sudo apt-get purge openjdk*
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer gdebi
$ wget sourceforge.net/projects/filebot/files/filebot/FileBot_4.5/filebot_4.5_amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi filebot_4.5_amd64.deb

Let me know if there is anything else I can provide to solve the problem. The GUI window itself doesn't appear on the desktop.

1)
You have Java 7. You need Java 8. If you you want to use no generic Debian package. But why would you? You already bought the Ubuntu version... so whatever you're doing doesn't make sense.

2)
Since you already bought FileBot, why don't you use the version you bought? Just install FileBot via Software Center.
