In my development environment, for reasons beyond my control I need to work on some projects that are tied to Java versions 1.6 and 1.7, however just over a month ago I started experiencing the error: “Compiling for Java version ‘1.6’ is no longer supported. Minimal supported version is ‘1.8’”.

Solution: downgrade the version of the “Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat” extension to 1.23.00
