Dear Geertjan, That's right. The main app is KillerSudoku. There's a separate class (which is used by another project as well) called Partitions5. That hasn't changed for years. You're probably right. It'll take me a bit of time to sort that out as I have to go offline now for a few hours - may

Also, there appear to be two separate applications here, one named 'KillerSudoku11' and the other one named 'Partitions5'. Not sure what this means, but something seems strange, aside from there being two Java source files in total. Maybe you need to check javac.source and javac.target in the pro

Can you open the Files window and look in the nbproject folder, where you’ll find the project.properties file? There you will find javac.source and javac.target, which you can set directly within that file. Gj On Thu, 4 Jul 2019 at 12:11, Peter Toye wrote: > Dear Laszlo, > > Yes - that was

Dear Geertjan, I think we're at cross-purposes here. My Project Properties doesn't have tabs - see the attached screenshot. I tried a new project using Maven and that does have tabs. So it seems to be an Ant problem. Best regards, Peter mailto:netbe...@ptoye.com www.ptoye.com

And in the Project Properties dialog, the first tab you see, named 'Sources', has 'Source/Binary Format' set to JDK 8 by default for me. When I change that to JDK 6, the two properties are changed for me to the following: javac.source=1.6 javac.target=1.6 Thanks, Gj On Mon, Jul 1, 2019 at 12:40
