1. New workspace on 1.4.2 JRE
2. Preferences > Java > Compiler > Building > Build path problems > Incompatible required binaries > Error

Observe: The project cannot be built because project is targeting a 1.2 runtime but compiled against a 1.4.2 JRE

Defaults are matching javac expectation. 
Unfortunately, understanding these issues require advanced knowledge of major/minor version, which is hard to leverage.

We could look at improving this later.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
