Error Message: The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

I installed Talend on mac Catalina for the first time, and added basic tFileInputExcel, but when trying to see the content of the the excel it shows this error:

Error Message: The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Preview error. Some settings must be changed.

Note: Preview errors are generally due to a wrong encoding setting.

org.talend.designer.runprocess.shadow.ShadowFilePreview.preview(ShadowFilePreview.java:90)

org.talend.metadata.managment.ui.utils.ShadowProcessHelper.getCsvArray(ShadowProcessHelper.java:383)

org.talend.commons.ui.swt.thread.SWTUIThreadProcessor$1.run(SWTUIThreadProcessor.java:74)

I have java 11 installed on my mac

java -version

java version "15" 2020-09-15

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 15+36-1562)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 15+36-1562, mixed mode, sharing)

I noticed in project java build it shows only 1.8 version.

How can I solve this?

Hello,

What is your JDK Compliance level in Studio Java Compiler preferences? 

Go to JAVA --> INSTALLED JREs - to find the version of Java used by Studio and you can also alter the settings here.

Best regards
