eclipse warning A compatible JRE is available but has been overridden

I've just updated my projects to java 8, and eclipse is giving this WARNING for each and every project in the workspace:

Build path specifies execution environment JavaSE-1.8. A compatible JRE is available but has been overridden. Warning Location: Build path Warning Type: JRE System Library Problem

eclipse.ini is set to java 8 vm: java8/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll I removed JAVA_HOME variable from the system environment (which pointed to java 7) but for no avail.

Forgot to mention: using m2e maven eclipse plugin.

Tried to search eclipse sources to see what is causing this warning, but couldn't find my arms and legs. Anyone?

Finally found that for some reason, eclipse thought JavaSE-1.8 for java 7. The configuration that solved the problem: Preferences ->Java -> Installed JREs -> Execution Environments Select "JavaSE-1.8" from left list and check "java8 [perfect match]" in the right list.
