<div class="id_taskbody"><p class="id_shortdesc">You can change the version of Java™ used
in a Java EE project by changing the value of the <span class="uicontrol">Java</span> facet.</p>
<div class="id_context"><p class="anchor_topictop" />
<p>The <span class="uicontrol">Java</span> facet
applies only to J2EE projects. To set the Java compiler level of a non-Java EE project,
such as a Java project, see <a href="../../org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/ref-properties-compiler.htm">Java Compiler</a>.</p>
<p>To change the Java compiler
version, complete the following steps:</p>
</div>
<ol class="id_steps">
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Project Explorer view of the Java EE perspective, right-click the project
and then select <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select the <span class="uicontrol">Project Facets</span> page in the in
the Properties window.</span> This page lists the facets in the project
and their versions.</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Modify Project</span>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Double click the version number next to the<span class="uicontrol">Java</span> facet
to select a different level of Java compiler.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span> to close the Modify Faceted
Project window and then click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>.</span></li>
