Piping between exceptions Java 7 feature

Question

I am using pipes between exception. i.e

catch(InterruptedException|SQLException e)

Its showing compile time error and on mouse over it shows InterruptedException.SQLException cannot be resolved to a type while on Java build path, I have added JRE7 as Java System Library and Java Compiler JDK Compliance is set to 1.7.

I am using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.

Version: Helios Service Release 2 Build id: 20110218-0911

Can any one explain what would be the exact cause or what else I am missing.

Check whether the exceptions are really thrown from your code? — Shriram, Mar 20 '14 at 06:35
import for exceptions are added while exceptions are being thrown from the code. compiler is showing fix options 1 quick fix availabe, fix project setup — MAK, Mar 20 '14 at 06:42
same code works fine if I removes | and defines two different catch clause — MAK, Mar 20 '14 at 06:49
Have you set the project's language level to Java 7? Seems as though you're trying to compile it with a lower language level. — Mureinik, Mar 20 '14 at 06:56

To add on to what Mureinik suggests, Try setting the compiler compliance level in eclipse. This has been given in this post.

Further, In the list of installed JREs add jre7 and remove any older versions of JRE that may be listed there.See image below:-

Ensure that your project build path has jre7 added to it.
