Answer 1

The problem should go away if u r using JDK1.7 .Try following the below steps and see

1. Open the project properties
2. Click on "Java Compiler"
3. Checkmark "Enable project specific settings"
4. Set all of the drop down menus to 1.7
5. Hit ok
6. Clean the project to trigger a rebuild

If u do below , then the problem reappears.

1. Open the project properties
2. Click on "Java Compiler"
3. Clear "Enable project specific settings"
4. Hit ok
5. Clean the project to trigger a rebuild (it will rebuild automatically)

Here's what I see if I do the following...

1. Open the project properties
2. Click on "Java Compiler"
3. Click on "Configure Workspace Settings"
4. I see that the "Compiler compliance level" = 1.7
5. I see that "Use default compliance settings" is checked.

Hope this helps!!
