Yeah, I'm pretty sure it doesn't know what was added when and your Java 7 JDK is masquerading as JDK 5 here. To take full advantage of API tools one really needs actual copies of older JDKs AFAIK.

I'm not sure. Maybe it is because you don't have a JRE for Java 5
installed for Eclipse, so it defaults to what you have installed?
In my case I have both Java 5 and 6, so it picked the one
the preference settings file told it too.
That's my guess anyway.
