- Another way is to edit the project facet configuration file itself:
org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml
- Change the dynamic web module version in this line to 3.1 –
<installed facet="jst.web" version="3.0"/>
- And then Maven -> Update Project. You’ll find this file in the .settings directory within the Eclipse project.
Have you noticed above type of error in yourEclipse? When you’re creating a project with Dynamic Web Module 3.1
support, you should be using Java 1.7 or newer. Please follow below steps to resolve it.
Step1: Make sure your Java Project is configured probably to use Java 1.7.
Right click your project > Properties > Java Compiler and set “Compiler compliance level” to 1.7
Step2: Java Build Path. Click “Edit“. And change it to “Java 7″
Step3: Next from the menu on the left select Project Facets > Java and set its version to 1.7
Extra Tips: If you have maven project try adding below code topom.xml
file.
