Eclipse Community ForumsUsing JRE 1.8 settings, but JRE remains at 1.4 with compliance 1.7
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/844283/1459671/#msg_1459671
Version: Kepler Service Release 2 / Build id: 20140224-0627
I have a 1.8 JRE installed in c:\Java64\jre8
c:\Java64\jre8\bin\java -version shows 1.8
c:\Windows\System32\java -version shows 1.8
In eclipse:
Windows->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs has the following checked (only entry):
Name: jre8 (default)
Location: c:\Java64\jre8
Type: Standard VM
But when I create a new java project, the wizard says on the bottom the following warning:
"The current workspace uses a 1.4 JRE with compiler compliance level 1.7. This is not recommended and either the JRE or the compiler compliance level should be changed."
Where is it getting this sense of a 1.4JRE?]]>tgm 10242014-11-02T20:00:58-00:00Re: Using JRE 1.8 settings, but JRE remains at 1.4 with compliance 1.7

Please consider upgrading to Luna, which recognizes and supports Java 8.
If you're bound to Kepler then Java 8 support can be installed as described in http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/java8/
