Why my TestNG.xml file is showing syntax errors when the same project is loaded in Eclipse 2024-03 Vs. 2023-12 with the same testNG plugin

We have a nicely working Java-TestNG Maven project, which was deployed on another machine(Windows 10 instead of Windows 11) and the Eclipse is newer v2024-03 instead of 2023-12. I see the following error messages in the newer project(even though the same TestNG for Eclipse plugin is installed. I don't know whether this plugin is updated) enter image description here

As far as I can see, the difference between the xml files is none. Is it the version of Eclipse, which could be the culprit ? Should I install the same old 2023-12 version, instead of the latest 2024-03 Eclipse version ?
