getting a JRE system library unbound error in build path, tried all suggestions from the below links, however did not work. I have jdk 1.6.0_29, I have also tried to install other versions but no help.

maven compiler version is something like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <source>1.6</source>
        <target>1.6</target>
        <encoding>${project.build.sourceEncoding}</encoding>
        <showDeprecation>true</showDeprecation>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Another option is:

  • Project > Properties > Java Build Path
  • Select Libraries tab
  • Select the troublesome JRE entry
  • Click Edit button
  • Choose an alternate JRE
  • Click Finish button

Pointing the project at your installed JRE might be a better choice than renaming your JRE to match the old project code.
