Java Compiler Version does not get saves [message #1860360]

Hi,

Every time I restart my Eclipse IDE the "Compiler compliance level" (Settings -> Java -> Compiler) will get reset to Java 11 even if my project is set up to Java 17. Where are these settings stored and how can I store it so that I don`t need to change this setting on every restart manually?

Thx

There are 2 levels of Settings in Eclipse, One is Workspace level which can be overridden for a particular Project at Project Level.
Changing the Project level Compliance will not update the Workspace level Compliance level. But you can edit Workspace level setting and Save it to have the saved settings when you restart Eclipse IDE.

Adding to the other response, the reality is that I don't think the Eclipse-wide "Compiler compliance level" really matters at all. If your project is using Java 17, there is no conflict there. If you want new projects to use Java 17, just set that as the default JRE.
