Update Java version of Eclipse

the result of 

System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));

in Eclipse gives back "1.8.0_05", but when I do "Java -version" in cmd under Windows 7, I get "1.8.0_25". What do I have to do in order to get eclipse also using that most updated version?

Under "right click on project -> properties -> Java Compiler" there's only "Java 1.8"...

Open 'Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs'. Update (or add) the Java 8 JRE to the current version of Java 8.

Also look at 'Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > Execution Environments' and make sure 'JavaSE-1.8' is set to the latest Java 8 (you may have to close and reopen the preferences before doing this).
