TK Gospodinov answer is correct even for maven projects  Beware  I do use Maven  The pom was correct and still got this issue  I went to  Project Facets  and actually removed the Java selection which was pointing to 1 6 but my project is using 1 7  On the right in the  Runtimes  tab I had to check the jdk1 7 option  Nothing appeared on the left even after I hit  Apply   The issue went away though which is why I still think this answer is important of the specific  Project Facets  related issue  After you hit OK if you come back to  Project Facets  you will notice Java shows up as version 1 7 so you can now select it to make sure the project is  marked  as a Java project  I also needed to right click on the project and select Maven Update Project

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    lt build gt     lt plugins gt       lt plugin gt         lt artifactId gt maven-compiler-plugin lt  artifactId gt           lt configuration gt             lt source gt 1 6 lt  source gt             lt target gt 1 6 lt  target gt           lt  configuration gt       lt  plugin gt     lt  plugins gt   lt  build gt    Alternatively  you can specify the maven compiler source and maven compiler target properties with values of 1 6  that happen to be the equivalent    lt properties gt       lt maven compiler target gt 1 6 lt  maven compiler target gt       lt maven compiler source gt 1 6 lt  maven compiler source gt   lt  properties gt

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
