title: How to find and change Java compiler option in Visual Studio Code?
body: <p>I am new to Visual Studio Code (VSC) and I come from Eclipse. VSC tells me 2 errors on my project:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><blockquote>
    <p>Build path specifies execution environment J2SE-1.5. There are no JREs installed in the workspace that are strictly compatible with this environment. </p>
  </blockquote></li>
  <li><blockquote>
    <p>The compiler compliance specified is 1.5 but a JRE 1.8 is used.</p>
  </blockquote></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Same as in Eclipse, I am looking for a preferences window to change the level of Java compiler (from 1.5 to 1.8 in my case) but I can't find it. I can only see files everywhere. The menu Preferences show many settings but nothing for the Java compiler.</p>
