JRE not compatible with workspace .class file compatibility [message #256470]

I am loading up a project into Eclipse. I use jre1.5.0_09 - I don't have
any other JREs installed on my laptop. I can run the project fine from
command line, but when I try to run it from Eclipse by doing Run As->Open
Run Dialog and filling out the info... It says:

[JRE]: JRE not compatible with workspace .class file compatibility: 1.6

The odd part is that this works fine when run from command line. Any hint?

Thank you

Alfredo,

If you look in Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs, is the one
you're expecting actually there? Were these .class files produced by
Eclipse? In Eclipse you'd want to set our source compatibility in the
preferences to be 1.5...

I went to Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs: the only JRE
listed there was jre1.5.0__09. That said, Under Java -> Compiler, the
"Compiler compliance level" was set to 6.0 and I switched it to 5.0 - that
got rid of the error message.

Thank you :)

Hi!

Go to Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler and change the "Compiler
compliance level" to 5.0 and try again...

Maybe your project workspace had been sailing over the Java 1.6 seas
before you started working, even in another station...

Good luck and be happy!

Basically You have installed two java versions in your machine.
and you have created the project with the version which is not default. So in the project properties, under JAVA compiler change the version to ur jdk version
This will solve your problem.

Let me know if you need more info
