If I clone org.eclipse.jdt.ui and look at the plug-ins I see a lot errors with regards to my Java version:

Build path specifies execution environment J2SE-1.5. There are no JREs installed in the workspace that are strictly compatible with this environment. Build path JRE System Library Problem

I have installed Java7 and would prefer to use Java7.

If possible I would like to change this message to a warning because otherwise all the JDT plug-ins are marked as incorrect.

Is their a setting in Eclipse to set this to a warning? I went through the Error/Warning settings of the compiler in the Eclipse preference but could not find something.

You need to download the appropriate Execution Environment(EE) from: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.2 using Help> Install New Software.. wizard. Under 'API Tools Execution Environment Descriptions' choose the required J2SE versions.

Often we work with the latest JRE installed and that ends up on the project's Java build path but the project is defined to be working with a lower EE. JDT reports that incompatibility. API tools lets you use that latest JRE but then checks the project code against the EE descriptions.
