In order to have the desired JRE/ JDK on BuildPath, follow these steps.

  • Right click on Project from Package Explorer
  • Select BuildPath and then select Configure Builpath
  • Select Libraries Tab from the popped up Properties window
  • Select the current JRE System Library
  • Click Remove button
  • Click on Add Library button
  • Select JRE System Library
  • There you will be able to add your desired JRE/ JDK version using 3 different methods.

If you don’t find your desired version of JRE/ JDK there in those 3 options, then you will have to install that first. The following link helps you in detail with screen shots to do the same. Hope it helps.
