How to upgrade ECLIPSE to JAVA 7

[sciuriware]

Hello,
I just upgraded from JAVA 6.30 to JAVA 7.3, but my ECLIPSE 3.8 sticks to JAVA 6 (1.6).
Should I throw away all .metadata and start all over again importing all of my projects
or is there a way to make ECLIPSE aware of JAVA 7 (1.7) for all projects?
;JOOP!

Hi,
click Windows on menu bar --> show view --> project explorer
project explorer opens
on project explorer, right click on ur project name and click properties
a dialog box appears with title "properties for *ur project's name*"
click 'java build path' on ur left side pane
then click the tab 'libraries'
it lists out some libraries
select JRE system libraries
click 'edit' button
there u can choose ur favourite environment

Your answer is so right.
Pity that I had to do this for half of my running projects.
I wonder why those stuck to the 1.6 library that already was removed.
Anyway ... I can now enjoy the complaints from the compiler, because 1.7 is a little more strict.
Thanks!
