Description j0ni 2007-09-24 03:29:25 UTC 
I have a project which I created in NetBeans 5.5.1 (a JavaEE/Web application). I have configured the platform to be
Apple's early access JDK6 release. When I go to project properties and choose the "sources" node, I can choose "source
level" of 1.6, then select "OK". But when I return to the properties dialog again, it has reset to 1.5. I cannot get the
change to stick.

Note that when I create a new project, I am able to select the correct platform and then source level, and the setting
does appear to stick.

Note that a new Java *web* application suffers the same fate as my old project - I cannot change the source level to
1.6, although the UI suggests that I can (it doesn't complain when I choose 1.6, and lets me click "OK").
