Hi @sudinnk, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

Solution

• Gradle projects

  • In build.gradle:

    // For Java 11
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11

  • Refresh the project: right-click the Gradle file in the Explorer and choose Update project, or enable automatic updates via:

    "java.configuration.updateBuildConfiguration": "automatic"

• Maven projects

  • In pom.xml:

    <properties>
      <maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source>
      <maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target>
    </properties>

  • Run a Maven > Reload Project or use the Java Projects explorer to refresh.
