Eclipse JRE System Library [J2SE-1.5]

Question

I\'m using Eclipse EE 3.7 with m2e plugin installed. I have JDK7 set in eclipse. When I import maven projects, the JRE is set to JRE System Library [J2SE-1.5],

Answer 1

The root cause of this issue is Eclipse cannot resolve a valid value for the maven.compiler.source property when updating the .classpath file from the pom, it is simply using default one i.e

org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/J2SE-1.5.

Just Add following properties into you pom.xml and update project:

            1.8
            ${java.version}
            ${java.version}
