The actual cause of this warning is that you have configured your project to run with an earlier JRE version then you have installed  Generally this occurs whenever you use old projects with newer JREs    This will likely cause no trouble at all  But if you want to be really on the save side  you should install the correct  old JDK  You can find them here  http   www oracle com technetwork java archive-139210 html  If you then restart eclipse you can go into Window   Preferences   Java   Installed JREs   Execution Environments and set for in your case J2SE-1 4 the  perfect match  as eclipse calls it

The above solutions fix the project or work around the problem in some way  Sometimes you just don t want to fix the project and just hide the warning instead    To do that  configure the contents of the warning panel and make sure to toggle-off the  build path -  JRE System Path Problem  category  The UI for this dialog is a bit complex weird usability challenged so you might have to fiddle with a few of the options to make it do what you want

Did you setup your project to be compiled with 1 4 compliance  If so  do what krock said  Or to be more exact you need to select the J2SE-1 4 execution environment and check one of the installed JRE that you want to use in 1 4 compliance mode  most likely you ll have a 1 6 JRE installed  just check that one  Or install a 1 4 JRE if you have a setup kit  and use that one   Otherwise go to your Eclipse preferences  Java -  Compiler and check if the compliance is set to 1 4  If it is change it back to 1 6  If it s not go to the project properties  and check if it has project specific settings  Go to Java Compiler  and uncheck that if you want to use the general eclipse preferences  Or set the project specific settings to 1 6  so that it s always 1 6 regardless of eclipse preferences

the correct procedure to resolve this warning  as other people write  is to go inside your project Properties and click on Java Build Path located on the left  Now you will find inside the Libraries Window the J2SE 1 5  double click on this one and a new window will give you the possibility to choose the correct Excecution Environment  Now select your version and the warning will disappear
