Answer 1

It needs to upgrade the Compiler Compliance. For Eclipse: Follow the steps below:

1. Right click on your java project and select Build Path -> Click on Configure Build Path...
2. In project properties window: Click/select Java Compiler at the left panel
3. At the right panel: change the Compiler compliance level from 1.4 to 1.7 or higher
4. Lastly Click on Apply and OK

Answer 2

Check Eclipse version Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler) and above version need to upgrade JAVA JDK 1.8.

After installation just check Eclipse: build path >> configure build path>> java compiler>> changed the compiler compliance level is 1.8

Note: 1. I suggest use Java JDK 1.8 version and Eclipse Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) 2. Selenium 3+ version jar file supported JAVA JDK 1.8 and above version only.
