Eclipse error: Unbound classpath container

Question

I recieved two error messages after I made my project:

The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved.
Unbound classpath container: 'JRE System Library [OSGi/Minimum-1.2]' in project 'method_test'

I think that if I figure out the second error, the first one will go away. However, I am running eclipse Juno on a 10.5.8 Mac, and I cannot install the necessary JRE from the Oracle website, as they do not it compatible for Mac.

Edit the JRE System Library path to the path which is relevant for your system . — AllTooSir, Apr 14 '13 at 16:09

When I select the library and press edit, it is unresponsive. – user2279952 Apr 14 '13 at 16:16
Select the JRE System Library under the Libraries tab . I guess you are running out of system memory and hence it hangs . Have patience ! – AllTooSir Apr 14 '13 at 16:20

JDK 7 is incompatible with my 10.5.8 mac. Also, I still have 67.7 gigabites of space left on my computer. – user2279952 Apr 15 '13 at 01:39
