I've installed STS 3.5.1.RELEASE and tried to follow the web tutorial: http://spring.io/guides/tutorials/web/ So I've installed gradle from within the STS to run the task "tomcatRunWar" on the code from section 6, as adviced in the tutorial. But I get an error and have no clue how to handle that. Here is the console output:

As alternative solution, I set the "Preferences -> Java -> Compiler -> JDK Compliance -> Compiler compliance level" to 1.7 . This starts with the following console output (looks like I'm not allowed to paste the whole thing):

What else could I do?
Try adding something like this to 'build.gradle':
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
targetCompatibility = 1.7
I think the problem is that you are telling the eclipse compiler to target Java 1.7, but in fact you are not using the eclipse compiler. I.e. when you run 'tomcatRunWar' task, Gradle rather than eclipse will compile and run the code.
BTW: if it works correctly then when you do 'Gradle >> Refresh All' in the IDE. Then gradle should also configure the eclipse project settings to use these compiler compatibility settings in the IDE.
The correct flow of information is to configure the build correctly and then let it configure your IDE, not the other way around.
Final warning, there is a bug [*] in the gradle eclipse plugin that it won't configure JRE classpath container. This probably won't cause a problem... but it might. If so, see linked bug report for a workaround.
