Building project when changing the JRE, on eclipse

I have a project that compiles and runs well with JRE6, but when I changed to JRE7 I found many compilation problems.

I have re-changed the JRE on run configuration to JRE6 but the problem persists.

Here is an example:

public static class SaveInDBAction extends AbstractAction {
    public SaveInDBAction() {
    }
//staff
}

That class is defined on a file named EditorActions.java and the error was:

Illegal modifier of the class SaveInDBAction...

I tried to rebuild and even recopied the project to a new one but in vain, is there any suggestions?

Here is a video that will help you to do what you want:
http://www.javavids.com/video/how-to-change-jre--jdk-in-eclipse-project.html

The site states:

Right click your project and choose properties. Select Java Build Path -> Libraries, select JRE System Library, click Edit and choose whichever JRE or JDK you like.

Hope that solved it for you.
