openjdk 1.7 in eclipse: operator is not allowed for source level below 1.7

Question

Eclipse gives me an error:

\'<>\' operator is not allowed for source level below 1.7 

I guess this is because it is not using java 1

Answer 1

If you would like to stick with java 1.6, Search and replace <> with empty string. You'll get compiler warnings but the errors should go away.
