I have eclipse 3.1.0 (work installed) and do most development in either java 1.4 or 1.5. However, a new project needs 1.6. I downloaded and installed the SDK. I added it in eclipse to Installed JREs. However, I cannot find a way to select 1.6 for the new project. I still need to be able to select 1.4 and 1.5 for my other projects. Is 3.1 not 1.6 compatible or is there something additional I must do to add 1.6 to the list of possible compilers?

Thanks for the help!

3.1 came out 5 years ago. It does not support 1.6. Time to move up to
3.6.1 ;-).
