Hello all;

When JDK-8006709 (http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/rev/cff8d7768d72) was pushed 
it changed the default source level for the jdk project NetBeans projects to 1.8. This 
was a reasonable change since at this point there was already a small amount of Java 8 
"-source 1.8" code in the jdk repo. Since that time the amount of source has 
increased. This change meant, unfortunately, that it was no longer possible to use a 
release version of netbeans as 7.3 did not support Java 8 source. Users wanting to use 
the jdk projects had to use either special lambda builds of NetBeans or the nightly dev 
builds.

NetBeans 7.4 will support Java 8 source. This changeset adjusts the projects so 
that they are recognized by NetBeans. The same change also works with NetBeans 
dev and lambda builds.

In addition to updating the projects this change also adjusts the location 
where classes would be written (assuming that compilation from within NetBeans 
wasn't broken--it is currently broken). This change is incomplete in that it 
doesn't properly understand the SPEC variable from the new makefiles but at 
least it prevents writing output to the repo directory. This will be further 
cleaned up in JDK-8016210 (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8016210)

Cheers,

Mike
