Have you noticed above type of error in your Eclipse? When you’re creating a project with Dynamic Web Module 3.1 support, you should be using Java 1.7 or newer. Please follow below steps to resolve it.
Step1:
Make sure your Java Project is configured probably to use Java 1.7.
Right click your project > Properties > Java Compiler and set “Compiler compliance level” to 1.7
Step2:
Java Build Path. Click “Edit“. And change it to “Java 7”
Step3:
Next from the menu on the left select Project Facets > Java and set its version to 1.7
Extra Tips:
If you have maven project try adding below code to pom.xml file.
| <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <source>1.7</source> <target>1.7</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> |
Alternate Solution:
- Another way is to edit the project facet configuration file itself:
org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml - Change the dynamic web module version in this line to 3.1 –
<installed facet="jst.web" version="3.0"/> - And then
Maven -> Update Project. You’ll find this file in the .settings directory within the Eclipse project.
