I Installed WindowBuilder on Eclipse to create a Graphic User Interface for a program. When I go to the 'Design' tab the following error appears:
Eclipse is running under 1.8, but this Java project has a 10 Java
compliance level, so WindowBuilder will not be able to load classes
from this project. Use a lower level of Java for the project, or run
Eclipse using a newer Java version.
I currently have Installed Java 8 (Update 171), and Oxygen.3a (4.7.3a) (Eclipse Version). I had previously downloaded Java 10, but I read that there's a bug where WindowBuilder doesn't work on that version, and that it is recommened the Version 8, which is the one I downloaded and installed (after uninstalling Version 10). But the problem's still there.
What could I do to solve this? Thank you.
Just change the compliance level of the project from 10 to 1.8, rebuild and the Design tab should work:
To change the project's compliance level:
Select the project's node in Project Explorer, right-click and select Properties.
Select Java Compiler from the column on the left.
Uncheck Use Compliance from execution environment...
Select 1.8 from the drop list for Compiler compliance level. (Presumably its current value is 10.)
Click the Apply and Close button.
Rebuild the project using 1.8 compliance.
The Design tab should work fine now.
As a separate issue, since you have uninstalled Java 10 you should also remove it from your Installed JREs if you haven't done that already:
Windows > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs
Select the entry for JDK 10 and click the Remove button.
If the JDK 10 entry was checked when you removed it you will be forced to check another JRE definition.
Click the Apply and Close button.
WB 1.9.1 has solved the issue:

Just change the compliance level of the project from the current to 1.8, rebuild and the Design tab should work:
It works for me
I have both Net-beans and eclipse IDEs installed in my laptop, But there is a per-devolved system that want lower version of JDK. so I installed net-beans older version too. but then JDK does not support my eclipse version. can I use two JDK in once?? and what should I do for working in both IDE in different versions.
Eclipse / Net beans need JRE to run in first place. If the version of JRE you install is not supported by the version of Eclipse/Netbeans u have, then you have to get a compatible version of Eclipse/Netbeans that match your installed JRE. (Alternatively you can change the JRE version)
Now coming to JDK. You need JDK only to compile you code inside Eclipse/Netbeans. You can have any number of JDKs installed and you can configure 'per project'.
In Eclipse, this is how you configure the JDK for the project
Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Libraries -> JRE System Library
In the next screen you add the desired JDK from your system , by locating it in the file browser.
P.S : Havent used Netbeans, but sure it is supported
When I click on the design tab I get this error:
Incompatible Java Versions
Eclipse is running under 1.7, but this Java project has a 1.8 Java compliance level, so WindowBuilder will not be able to load classes from this project. Use a lower level of Java for the project, or run Eclipse using a newer Java version.
I've checked in window>preferences that:
>java>compiler is set to 1.8
>java>installed JREs has a 1.8 JDK as the default
Have I missed something?
looks like JAVA_HOME is set to the java 7 one, will this require a restart?
You're actually executing eclipse with Java 7, you can update JAVA_HOME to point to Java 8, and then restart eclipse (not your computer).
I have java jdk 1.6 update 1 installed on my pc as well as jdk 1.8.0_11, my eclipse uses the 1.6 version, how do i change it to 1.8 and on doing so, will I need to change any further setting for android application development?
In your Eclipse IDE go to Window->Prefernces->Java->Complier
and set Compiler compliance level to required version
UPDATE: You need a newer version of Eclipse. At least 3.7SR1.
In your project in Eclipse you can select "Project -> Properties" and then go to "Java Compiler", then uncheck the checkbox "Use compliance from execution environment 'JavaSE-1.6' on the 'Java build path'".Then select the complier compliance level.
Right click on project - Build Project - Libraries- Add Library - Select the desired Java Version (Alternate one)
Did anybody have similar problem with this, I import android project and I get
errors like
[2011-10-03 17:20:09 - Screen] Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0. Found '1.7' instead. Please use Android Tools > Fix Project Properties.
[2011-10-03 17:21:55 - App] Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0. Found '1.7' instead. Please use Android Tools > Fix Project Properties.
[2011-10-03 17:21:59 - App] Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0. Found '1.7' instead. Please use Android Tools > Fix Project Properties.
I got errors to delete all #Override above functions. I have Windows 7 x64, jvm7 x64. Does anyone have clue what is wrong ?( I done Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties but didn;t help )
That isn't the problem, Jack. Android SDK isn't x64, but works ok with x64 jvm (and x64 eclipse IDE).
As helios said, you must set project compatibility to Java 5.0 or Java 6.0.
To do that, 2 options:
Right-click on your project and select "Android Tools -> Fix
Project Properties" (if this din't work, try second option)
Right-click on your project and select "Properties -> Java
Compiler", check "Enable project specific settings" and select
1.5 or 1.6 from "Compiler compliance settings" select box.
Go to the project folder and right click on it -> properties -> check off the read only box and click ok
Right-click on your project and select "Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties"
Right-click on your project and select "Properties -> Java Compiler", check "Enable project specific settings" and select 1.5 or 1.6 from "Compiler compliance settings" select box. (try all the levels one by one just in case)
Under Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Compiler, set Compiler compliance level to 1.6 or 1.5.
Hopefully it will settle the problem.
I would recommend using x86 version of jvm. When I first got my new laptop (x64), I wanted to go x64 all the way (jvm, jdk, jre, eclipse, etc..). But once I finished setting everything up I realized that the Android SDK wasn't x64, so I had issues. Go back to x86 jvm and you should be ok.
EDIT: 11/14/13
I've seen some recent activity and figured I would elaborate a little more.
I did not say it would not work with x64, I just recommended using x86.
Here is a good post on the advantages / disadvantages of x64 JDK. Benefits of 64bit Java platform
Thought process: To what end? Why am I trying to using 64 bit JDK? Just because I have a 64-bit OS? Do I need any of the features of 64-bit JDK? Are there any extra features in the 64-bit JDK?! Why won't this s*** play nice together!? F*** it I'm going 32-bit.
Doing Project -> Clean... fixed it for me.
My eclipse had stopped working so I cleaned workspace directory and after I run eclipse when I import the project I had this problem. Other solutions suggested here didn't work.
For most of the people still receiving the error after fixing project properties, you probably installed Java 7 SDK when setting up your environment, but it is not currently supported for Android development.
As the error message sais, you should have installed Java 5.0 or 6.0, but Java 7 was found.
If you fix project properties without first installing Java 5 or 6, you will see the same error again.
So first, ensure you have Java SDK 5 or 6 installed, or install it.
Check your environment variable (JAVA_HOME) is pointing to SDK 5/6.
And then:
Check that Eclipse is using SDK 5/6 by default (Window => Prefs. => Java => Compiler
Disable Project Specific Settings (Project Properties => Java Compiler)
Fix Project Properties
OR
Leave Eclipse using JDK 7 by default.
Enable Project Specific Settings (Project Properties => Java Compiler)
Select Compiler Compliance 1.5 or 1.6 (Project Properties => Java Compiler)
I agree with BMSAndroidDroid and Flo-Scheild-Bobby. I was doing a tutorial called DailyQuote and had used the Cordova library. I then changed my OS from Windows to Ubuntu and tried to import projects into Eclipse, (I'm using Eclipse Juno 64-bit, on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, Oracle JDK 7. I also installed the Ubuntu 32-bit libs- so no issues with 64 and 32bit), and got the same issue.
As suggested by Flo-Scheild-Bobby, open configure build path and add the jar(s) again that you added before. Then remove the old jar link(s) and thats it.
I fixed this problem employing the two procedures of :
In Eclipse->'Project' menu -> 'Java Compiler' -> set 'Compiler compliance level' = 1.6
check on 'Use default compliance settings'
Set 'Generated .class compatibility' = 1.6
Set 'Source compatibilty' = 1.6
Then go to 'Windows' menu --> 'Preferences' -->'Java' , expand 'Java' --> 'Compiler' -->Set 'Compiler compliance level' = 1.6
Hint: Source compatibility must be equal to or less than compliance level.
I would suggest that u check for the jar files are properly included in your projects. There are possibility that in absence of jar files, the project will not be compiled
As BMSAndroidDroid said, this problem may be caused by a wrong build path configuration.
If you included some libraries to your build path, then move the libraries, the build path will conserve the wrong references, will not found the libraries during compilation and you will get an error.
To fix it, right click on your project folder > build path > configure build path
Then take a look to the library tab, and remove the old libraries.
In my case a switch from openjdk7 to openjdk6 helped. Afterwards I changed the compliance level to 1.6 and all compiled fine.
i come across this problem cause my debug.keystore is expired, so i deleted the debug.keystore under .android folder, and the eclipse will regenerate a new debug.keystore, then i fixed th
Following worked for me
Enable project-specific settings and set the compliance level to 1.6
How can you do that?
In your Eclipse Package Explorer 3rd click on your project and select properties. Properties Window will open. Select Java Compiler on the left panel of the window. Now Enable project specific settings and set the Complier compliance level to 1.6. Select Apply and then OK.
