Dear Geertjan,

Both javac.source and javac.target are set to 12. If I change the source/target 
to 8 they change accordingly. See the attached if you don't believe me!

Whichever I choose the build fails.

Best regards,

Peter

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.

Dear Laszlo,

Yes - that was my point. I had opened the project (well, a copy of it so as not 
to disturb the original which works in NB version 8) in NB 11 and gone through 
the error resolution. Changing the source/target to JDK8 doesn't change 
anything - see attached screenshot.

Best regards,

You might be compiling your old stuff with modern Java.
Either go back to Java 8 or add javac.source=1.8 and javac.target=1.8 in your 
project properties.

...and now I can't build
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?

Peter
