Java compiler level does not match the version of the installed Java project face

I have opened an old project and replaced the referenced JDK Library from 1.5.22 to 1.6 and I get the following error

Java compiler level does not match the version of the installed Java project face




Solution is to go to the projects properties and set the correct facet.




There is a "Project Facets" section under the project's properties. I changed Java "version" to 6.0, and things were fine and the error went away.
