How to set a java compiler in Netbeans

by

Right click on your project –> Project Properties

Then in Sources set Source/Binary Format to JDK 7.

EDIT 1 :

There is a NetBeans issue:

Works fine in J2SE project, Web project specific problem.
The problem is that fork=”false” the JDK 7.0 params are passed to JDK 6.0
compiler. The executable requires fork=”true”.

On the line 293 of build-iml.xml the

<javac 
      debug="@{debug}" 
      deprecation="${javac.deprecation}" destdir="@{destdir}"
      encoding="${source.encoding}" 
      excludes="@{excludes}"
      executable="${platform.javac}" 
      fork="${javac.fork}" 
      includeantruntime="false"
      includes="@{includes}"  
      source="${javac.source}" 
      srcdir="@{srcdir}"
      target="${javac.target}" 
      tempdir="${java.io.tmpdir}">

should become:

<javac 
      debug="@{debug}" 
      deprecation="${javac.deprecation}" 
      destdir="@{destdir}"
      encoding="${source.encoding}" 
      excludes="@{excludes}"
      executable="${platform.javac}" 
      fork="yes"                          ;as opposed to ${javac.fork}
      includeantruntime="false"
      includes="@{includes}" 
      source="${javac.source}" 
      srcdir="@{srcdir}"
      target="${javac.target}" 
      tempdir="${java.io.tmpdir}">

EDIT 2 (if first tips don’t work):

Try to run Netbeans IDE in JDK7.

Edit Netbeans conf file :

Linux

~/.netbeans/7.0/etc/app.conf

Mac Os X

/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans\ 7.1.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/harness/etc/app.conf

Add the jdk7 path in the line jdkhome=.

Or

Launch netbeans using :

netbeans –jdkhome /Java7/Home/dir
