Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Helios Service Release 2
Build id: 20110218-0911

for some quite long. i am trying to set everything to get all the Java SE 7 new Stuff i was trying to set the Eclipse Compiler to 7 but surprise the Compiler for Java SE 6 is the last

i was wondering if exists any fix or plugins to get eclipse approval my Java 7 sintax as well their support without install a new eclipse...

Eclipse uses its own internal compiler and not javac from the JDK.

Hence you need a version of Eclipse officially supporting Java 7 which Helios doesn't. I would suggest the latest version of Eclipse Juno (4.2) and not the brand new Kepler (4.3) because it has had a year of bug fixes.

No. Helios does not support Java 7 syntax. It is also an over three year old product. Kepler just came out. Last year Juno came out. The year before Indigo came out. Before THAT Helios came out.

Why can't you upgrade your Eclipse?
