Answer 1

This is late answer. But may help to other. If you are using Maven based project. You just include following code in pom.xml file. It can be resolved.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <source>1.7</source>
                <target>1.7</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Update: Similarly if you are using jdk version 1.8 just include it in your <source> and <target> tags.

Just Change "the dynamic web module version" to 2.5 and than change it back to 3.0 and the error disappears. It worked fine for me.
