- Install a specific JRE because the default is probably not the correct one.
Window/ Preferences / Java / Installed JRE’s - Make sure you have the correct JDK Compliance in
Windows / Preferences / Java / Compiler / JDK Compliance /
Compiler compliance level - Create a project. For instance a Dynamic Web Project.
