Error updating to Java 15 [message #1834459]

Hello,

I am picking up a project that I left off a few months ago with a team who seem to have included some syntax that is only available in Java 14 onwards (see below).

I have downloaded JDK 15 and set my JRE System Library in eclipse to this path. However, I'm still running into the below errors.

How can I ensure that my Eclipse is using the latest version of Java so that these errors are eliminated?

Thank you for your help!

Hi Katie,
Looks like the compliance is not set to Java 14 - please go to preferences and filter with compliance and check whether you have 14 in your compliance - the Java compiler in Eclipse uses that option to decide the level .

If you still have an issue, please file a bug against JDT.Core here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=JDT

Regards,
Manoj
