Java compiler level does not match the version of the installed Java project facet

Question

I have created a New Dynamic Project under Eclipse Helios Version, where my JRE Version is set to 1.6. I have added Maven capabilities to the Web Application by clicking on

Answer 1

The Project Facet->Java should match whatever you have in the pom.xml for the maven-compiler-plugin artifact source and target.This is perfect.But if you donot have it here then you can also fix it by matching Java compiler version in Porject-Facets from the setting: Eclispe->Preferences->Java->Compiler

Answer 2

I changed the configuration inside workspace/project/.setting/org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core to :

installed facet="jst.web" version="2.5"
installed facet="jst.java" version="1.7"

Before changing config, remove project from IDE. This worked for me.

Answer 3

Right click the project and select properties Click the java compiler from the left and change to your required version Hope this helps

Answer 4

In Eclipse, right click on your project, go to Maven> Update projetc. Wait and the error will disappear. This is already configured correctly the version of Java for this project.

Answer 5

Assuming that you are using the m2e plugin in Eclipse, you'll need to specify the source and target versions as 1.6 for maven-compiler-plugin. m2e uses these values to determine the project's Java compiler level. A snippet of the POM is shown below:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <source>1.6</source>
          <target>1.6</target>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Alternatively, you can specify the maven.compiler.source and maven.compiler.target properties with values of 1.6, that happen to be the equivalent:

<properties>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.6</maven.compiler.target>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.6</maven.compiler.source>
</properties>

Answer 6

You can change project facet from Project --> Properties --> Project Facet --> Java --> {required JDK version}
