A couple of other users reported the same discrepancy about a year ago.
Comment 2 Milutin Kristofic 2011-12-12 10:57:43 UTC 
In properties of application/module you need to setup in sources: source/binary format: JDK 7 and you also need to have in libraries java platform jdk 7. 

It doesn't matter on which java your netbeans works, it's important what setup your project has. Please, can you check source/binary and java platform? If there is still problem, please reopen.

netbeans 8.2
java 1.8

Project set source to java 1.6


in Swing GUI Editor, add a JList
and try to build.

it will show diamond operator is not supported in -source 1.6.

It because the GUI Editor will gen the source with diamond operator.

in function private void initComponents()

jlist = new javax.swing.JList<>();

it will not change to old format as I select the source as 1.6
