You need to check what type of JRE is there installed in your IDE,

I had also encountered the same problem a while ago when upgrading from Java version 1.6 to 1.7. To resolve this I followed below steps.

1. Right Click on the Project on Project Explorer and click on Properties.
2. Navigate to Java Build Path > “Libraries”
3. Delete any conflicted libraries which have red cross mark on the icons.
4. Check & edit if necessary the JRE System Library Jars.
5. Navigate to Project Facets and select the required java version.

Answer 3

Double click the Tomcat server->run time environment->installed jre->select jdk 1.7

Answer 4

I've just had the same thing. My solution was to remove the 1.6 JRE in Installed JRE's and tick the Java 1.7 one.

This can be found in Window --> Preferences --> Java --> Installed JRE's

Just as Boopathi says.

Answer 5

Change the jre pointed by your server(tomcat or anything...) point to a JDK instead of JRE

Answer 6

Check for the version of JDK in Window --> Preferences -->Java compiler and then set the same JDK in Window --> Preferences -->Project Facets -->Java

Answer 7

1.Window Menu -> Preferences 2.On the left, select Server -> Runtime Environments 3.Highlight The server you want for your project and select the “Edit…” button 4.On the “Edit Server Runtime Environment” dialog, change the JRE to be a Java 7 JDK or JRE. 5.Rebuild your project and the error should go away.

Answer 8

For me the Java 17 appeared in Project facet after the following :

1- Window > Preferences > Installed JREs > Add JDK 17 then select it

2- Installed JREs > Execution Environment > Select JavaSE-17 > on the right side check the JDK 17

When I ran into this same issue, I resolved it by changing work space.
