eclipse错误，“无法为低于1.7的源级别打开String类型的值”

Question

I am new for eclipse, and could not find the solution for

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: Cannot switch on a value of type String for source level below 1.7.

I changed the Java Compiler from 1.6 to 1.8, but I still have this error. The code is as below:

package learning;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Switch {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Insert a command:");
        String text = input.nextLine();

        switch (text) {
            case "start":
                System.out.println("Game Started");
            case "stop":
                System.out.println("Game Stopped");
            default:
                System.out.println("Invalid Input");
        }
        input.close();
    }
}

I just downloaded the latest eclipse and Java SED kit 8 yesterday. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

进入项目属性-> Java编译器...将合规级别更改为1.8

Answer 2

I have java 1.8, the following steps worked for me.

1) in eclipse.ini Change java version = 1.7 and launch eclipse, change java compiler settings as 1.7

2) right click on the error, click change compilation settings.
