   Well, I've never said this does not fix something. I just said it also will 
likely break something (and I have one more below). Anyway, if all you want to 
fix is [NETBEANS-5829](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5829) and 
make sure the test passes, I suspect simply not doing the downgrade would do 
the same, with hopefully a smaller fallout. If there's some other usecase you 
intend to fix, you should have a test for that as well, otherwise it may 
regress at any time.
   
   There may be another problem I didn't realize before - when the source level 
selected is newer than the highest source level supported by the given 
compiler, it seems it may crash with an exception, possibly rendering the IDE 
useless for some users (me possibly included, depending on the circumstances).
   
   Anyway - you've asked for a review/opinion, I provided one. I can't stop you 
from doing this, but it is not clear to me who will be responsible for the 
fallout.
