Dear Geertjan,

To answer both your posts:

I can't see any project option which corresponds to "source" or "target" with a 
value including "6". Which option are you referring to, please?

It's a straight Java app using Swing. Generated originally on NB version <=8 
(can't remember exactly which version - it was a long time ago) by the usual 
method - select "Java application" and click "New | JFrame" - design & program 
from there. 

HTH.

Best regards,

Peter

And what kind of project are we talking about, can you give a lot more details 
so we can help?

Yes, it is Ant-based. But what kind of project type -- a NetBeans Platform 
application? A Java EE application? An HTML/JavaScript application? What, 
exactly?

Look in the Project Properties of your project (right-click it in the Projects 
window and choose Properties).

I made a copy of a project in NB 8 and opened it in NB 11. Got some errors 
which were resolved OK.

But it won't build - I get a warning and 2 errors:

warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 6
??error: Source option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.
??error: Target option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.??BUILD FAILED 
(total time: 0 seconds)

I can't see any way of changing this as there aren't any project options to 
change the source or target, even if I knew what they were referring to.

Stackoverflow gives remedies for this, but only for Maven. This project was 
built using Ant in NB 8 which I assume is carried over to NB 11.

The only likely reference that I can see is in build-impl.xml which is firmly 
marked "DO NOT EDIT"! But the comment implies that the properties aren't being 
overridden correctly.

           <target depends="-pre-init,-init-private" name="-init-user">
    ??        <property file="${user.properties.file}"/>
    ??        <!-- The two properties below are usually overridden -->
    ??        <!-- by the active platform. Just a fallback. -->
    ??        <property name="default.javac.source" value="1.6"/>
    ??        <property name="default.javac.target" value="1.6"/>
    ??    </target>??

Any ideas where to go from here please?
