Resolve error while fetching project code in Force.com IDE

While working on force.com IDE this week, I started getting below error

Unable to update project properties: Element {urn:partner.soap.sforce.com}returnFieldDataTypes invalid at this location

Eclipse Force.com IDE - MARS.1

I was using Eclipse Mars.1. The reason was that, I updated my force.com IDE to version 36 and my org was supporting API 35 only I guess.
So, I solved it by uninstalling Force.com IDE by navigating to “Help | Installation Details | Force.com IDE | Uninstall”.

Once, Force.com IDE is uninstalled, install it again however with some change as shown in below image.

On first screen of installation, we need to select only “version 35” and uncheck check-box saying “show only the latest version of available software”. After this screen, we need to follow steps as shown in screen.
