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,

Peter

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.

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?
