title: Error: The import java.nio.file.Files cannot be resolved
body: <p>Java newbie here,</p>
  
  <p>Using jdk1.8.0_05, I seem to be unable to resolve the java.nio.file.Files class </p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.nio.file.Files;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The import java.nio.file.Files cannot be resolved</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>All other java.nio.file.* Classes (Path, Paths, FileSystem, etc.) seem to resolve just fine.  Based on other answers I've made sure of the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Java build path set to JRE System Library jre8 for the project</li>
  <li>Set workspace compiler compliance level to 1.7, as high as it goes</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I'm using eclipse 3.7.2.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help</p>
