This is part of the sample project's configuration. See ${nb-install}/java/modules/org-netbeans-modules-java-examples.jar -> org/netbeans/modules/java/examples/anagrams.zip -> nbproject/project.properties:
javac.source=1.6 javac.target=1.6 "New project" just creates a copy of the sample project, including project configuration, and doesn't change anything. I think it makes sense, when copying, to keep the source level that the sample project was originally created with, because otherwise a newer source level could result in compiler warnings or even errors. It might make sense to update the sample projects themselves to Java 1.8, though.
