Eclipse Compilation error: [function/type] is not accessible due to restriction on required library … rt.jar

Problem : Eclipse gives the error – “[function/type] is not accessible due to restriction on required library … rt.jar” when building a project.

Reason: Project  classpath (in the build path) is refers to JRE in place of the JDK in which the Project is configured to work with.

Fix:  Go to Java Build Path > Libraries, choose JRE System Library, click Edit button. From the dialog choose Alternate JRE and choose the required JDK.
