Description rbuss 2005-12-01 07:56:58 UTC 
Setting up a freeform project with existing ant- build- file and existing 
sources a change of source level seems to have no effect. The source level
seems to be dependent from the java- vm netbeans is running with. (i.e. when
running netbeans with jdk 1.5 and using a project build with 1.4, all warnings
etc. according 1.5 appear despite of the selected source level in project
properties)
Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2005-12-01 13:43:38 UTC 
Currently, the Source Level setting affects only the IDE itself (editor, etc.).
The build script is run using the JDK that was used to run the IDE (in fact, the
ant runs in the same virtual machine). Issues #64160 and #41689 handle this.

Currently, the workaround is to modify the build script to fork the javac into a
specific JDK (and/or set source and target to the javac task). Sorry.
