  <p>when i try to build an android project sent by a friend, Eclipse gives me the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0. Found '1.7' instead. Please use Android Tools > Fix Project Properties.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>fix project properties has no effect on the error and going to window->preferences->java->compiler and clicking on the compiler compliance drop down box shows only 1.3,1.4,1.5,1.6,1.7</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried enabling project specific settings and using compiler compliance level 1.5 or 1.6</p>
  
  <p>is there any way to add compiler compliance 5 or 6 / any other solution?</p>
