The type java.lang.CharSequence cannot be resolved in package declaration

I get 2 classes in package P. Interface class A and its implementation class B. In the file with class B I get the following error: The type java.lang.CharSequence cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files.

I'm using Eclipse Helios and

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)

Standard solution of removing and adding JRE doesn't work. How can I fix it?

EDIT: Code:
Class A:

package com.jax;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style;


@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = Style.RPC)
public interface WebServiceInter {

@WebMethod
String sayHello();

}

Class B:

package com.jax; // **Error is here**

import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.jax.WebServiceInter")
public class WebServiceImpl implements WebServiceInter{
    @Override
    public String sayHello(){
        return "Hello!";
    }
}

Project structure: ProjectName -> Java Resources -> com.jax -> Class A, Class B

Your Eclipse software suite doesn't support Java 1.8

Download a newer version of Eclipse.

Make your Project and Workspace to point to JDK7 which will resolve the issue. https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/jdk_compliance has given ways to modify Compliance and Facet level changes.

Java 8 supports default methods in interfaces. And in JDK 8 a lot of old interfaces now have new default methods. For example, now in CharSequence we have chars and codePoints methods.
If source level of your project is lower than 1.8, then compiler doesn't allow you to use default methods in interfaces. So it cannot compile classes that directly on indirectly depend on this interfaces.
If I get your problem right, then you have two solutions. First solution is to rollback to JDK 7, then you will use old CharSequence interface without default methods. Second solution is to set source level of your project to 1.8, then your compiler will not complain about default methods in interfaces.
