Comment 6 Pavel Rehak 2005-04-12 13:14:00 UTC 
Verified with build 200504101930.

I've found obscure scenario how to simulate this problem once again:
import eclipse project with JDK/JRE 1.3- to netbeans, after import
try build this project and message 
javac: invalid flag: -source
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
still appears.
Changing java platform to 1.4 and back to 1.3 solves this problem.

I file issue for project importer.
Comment 7 Tomas Zezula 2005-04-12 13:16:58 UTC 
The importer generated a project.xml with <explicit-platform
source-supported="true"> for JDK 1.3, it is bug in importer.
