Change the NetBeans Default JDK
A client sent me some code today to update. He was using the NetBeans, so I downloaded the IDE and fired it up to open the project he’d sent me. Unfortunately, the project wouldn’t compile because he’d written the code in Java 6 while NetBeans was using Java 5. I couldn’t find a NetBeans menu to update the setting, but rather found that the fix is to add the following in NetBean’s etc/netbeans.conf file:
# Default location of JDK, can be overridden by using –jdkhome <dir>:
netbeans_jdkhome=”C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05″
