Different Java developer and program versions?

Question

I've installed JDK7 java version and selected version 7 as the JVM in Eclipse. The version of compiler remains being 1.6 and it doesn't shows a greater version. Is it correct? Thanks

Did you select the JVM Eclipse is running in or the JDK version used for your project? - Please also note that Java 7 is quite new and Eclipse might not yet fully support it. — Thomas

Current version of Eclipse (3.7) does not support compiling Java 7 sources yet. The support is coming in 3.7.1 update soon. You can run your application with Java 7 JRE, but there is no support for compilation at the moment.
