I suspect that would work with Maven, but our projects are using Ant qand there it's using the project.properties file and build.xml/build-impl.xml.
For those it's easy to set the project to use the ""JDK_1.8" defined java platform, but it's not easy to do this in a global way, since the actual definition of the "JDK_1.8" java platform has to be set per NetBeans installation as it is kept in the individual users userdir.
