Kindly let me know how solve this problem...

Answer 1

I had this problem in Eclipse on Windows 7 as well. The solution is Go to Project-> right Click-> Select Properties -> project Facets -> modify the java version for your JDK version you are using. Please note, if the JDK version of the project is higher, say, 1.5 and your project setting is jdk 1.4, then it will not work. Vice versa will work.
