AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry cannot be resolved to a type

Question

I am running:

OS X v10.8.4
Eclipse 3.7.2
Java 1.6
Android minSdkVersion 17
Android targetSdkVersion 17

But no dice. The compiler recognizes plain old AbstractMap declarations, but has no clue about AbstractMap.SimpleEntry or AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry:

bad compiler

However, via command line (javac 1.6.0_51) the following does build and run:

import java.util.AbstractMap;

public class Test {
   public static void main (String args[]) {
      AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<String, String> entry =
          new AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry("key", "value");
      System.out.println(entry.getKey());
      System.out.println(entry.getValue());
   }
}

Also, Android Studio (I/O Preview) recognizes AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.

I have Build -> Clean'd, restarted Eclipse, rebooted the Mac. So something is wrong in my Eclipse setup. Help!

Are you _sure_ you are building with level 17 of the SDK? `AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry` was added in API level 9. — Alex MDC, Jul 10 '13 at 22:47
That was it, I forgot about the list in Project->Properties->Android. — QED, Jul 10 '13 at 22:51
If you want a little love I will accept it as an answer, otherwise I'll delete in 5-10 minutes. — QED, Jul 10 '13 at 22:52

Are you sure you are building with level 17 of the SDK? AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry was added in API level 9. That exact class caught me out too as I build with API level 8.
