Most of the time this [Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: JVMCFRE003 bad major version ]
means that what you're trying to run in the JRE was compiled with a newer version of Java than is being used by the JRE.   I.e.   The JRE may be v1.7 and you might be building with Java 1.8.

Solution:   Determine the JRE version of the execution environment and build your application with a compatable version.

However, you mention RTC 6.0.1 and 6.0.4 of Build Toolkit... If your RTC server is v6.0.1, you cannot use any client (eclipse, JBE, Build Toolkit, etc)  newer than 6.0.1.

 Thank you kevin for your quick response and if i use build tookit of version 6.0.1 will it resolve this error as whether this build toolkit of version 6.0.1 will support java 1.6 version?

No, because the root cause is most likely that you are running something that was built with a newer version of Java with an older version of Java.
