Saxon cant compile xPath

I build saxon9-7-0-4source.zip and try to execute the xPath .//item[@name='entry']//property[matches(@value,'test[0-9]{1,2}$')]/.. at a dom4j document based on the following xml:

<root>
<item name="abc">
  <iitem>
    <property value="test"/>
  </iitem>
</item>
<item name="entry">
  <iitem>
    <property value="test"/>
  </iitem>
  <iitem>
    <iiitem>
      <property value="test12"/>
    </iiitem>
  </iitem>
  <iitem>
    <property value="123"/>
  </iitem>
</item>
</root>

The xPath does what I exspect, I test it online at http://www.qutoric.com/xslt/analyser/xpathtool.html

But if I try the same in my java code

        Processor proc = new Processor(false);
        proc.getUnderlyingConfiguration().registerExternalObjectModel(new DOM4JObjectModel());
        DocumentBuilder db = proc.newDocumentBuilder();
        XdmNode xdmDoc = db.wrap(doc4j);
        XPathCompiler xpath = proc.newXPathCompiler();
        String path=".//item[@name='entry']//property[matches(@value,'test[0-9]{1,2}$')]/..";
        XPathExecutable viewPath = xpath.compile(path);

I get an unexpected error Exception in thread "main" 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

This error occurs if I try to compile the xPath via XPathExecutable viewPath = xpath.compile(path);.

I figured out the reason where this Exception comes from. My version of eclipse is to old like it is described here. I have to compile saxon 9.7 against java 8.
