I'm trying to upgrade from jre6 and jdk6 to jre7 and jdk7. I program using eclipse, i downloaded and installed the jre7 and jdk7 on: C:\program files\java\ now when I enter eclipse i want to change the used compiler so i go to: window>preferences>java>compiler but there appears only 1.3,1.4,1.5 and 1.6 I've also entered: window>preferences>java>Installed JREs and added the jre7 version.

You need to upgrade to at least Eclipse Indigo SR1, which has been out for over a month. See also Eclipse announces full Java 7 support.
