4) Select Libraries tab.
5) Then Expand JRE System Library entry and Select "Access rules" and hit the Edit button.
6) A new dialog windows opens
7) Click the add button and click ok.
8) Select Accessible in resolution and in Rule pattern add "com/sun/xml/internal/**".

Second Method :

1) Go to Eclipse
2) Click on Project -> Properties
3) Select Java Build Path in left hand navigation
4) Select Libraries tab.
5) Select JRE System Library and click remove.
6) Click on Add Library and select JRE System Library
