I thought it was Preferences->Java->Installed JREs that
determines which JRE is used to compile and run a project. It can
also be set on project basis on the JRE tab of the Run configuration
page.
You could also check to see what JRE is running eclipse. Goto
Help->Configuration Details.

Thanks so much. Aside from missing the drop down that contains
preferences you were dead on. I can't believe I had wasted over 3
hours trying to find where/how to configure this.
As it turns out, you can set the Java compiler in Eclipse 2.1.2 in
the:
Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I've been looking into the the same question, though I'm using version
3.0.0. Eclipse (that is, its Java Development Tools plug-in) uses a
built-in Java compiler; you can't use an external one. See
http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/html/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/doc/r
eference/ref-152.htm
Unfortunately, the Windows | Preferences | Java | Installed JREs dialog
does say "The checked JRE will be used by default to BUILD and run Java
programs", which is misleading...
