[Java] Compile in Java 6 with NetBeans
Solved
Hello,
I have NetBeans 7.1.1 with JDK 1.7.0_04.
It compiles my project for Java 7 while I need it to work under Java 6 (or Java 5 if possible according to a Google search on the subject).
Can I choose to switch between Java 6 for some projects and Java 7 for others?
Or how can I make it compile for Java 6?
I am creating a Minecraft plugin (CraftBukkit), and it works very well on a server launched with Java 7, but does not work if launched with Java 6 (errors are displayed and thus the plugin is not launched).
I assume I need to install a lower version JDK, but I would still like to be able to choose between JDKs or know which file contains the information on which JDK to use for compilation.
PS: Since I will be reinstalling NetBeans on another computer this weekend, could I have the links to the JDK and the version of NetBeans to use?
Thank you for your help.

ModeratorIt is not necessary to have the lower JDKs, the most recent ones are compatible with previous versions. However, you need to configure NetBeans, look:
Cross-Compilation between Java Platforms.

Actually, I found it in the project properties. And I have to use a lower version http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/unsupported-major-minor-version-51-0.48687/.
