Description

Set up the default NetBeans Platform project with the Favorites window available, then tried to create the installers (all). During the creation process, it failed out with the following error:

 

-do-compile:
{{ [mkdir] Created dir: C:\Users\Integ\OneDrive\Documents\NetBeansProjects\jManagerPlatform\build\installer\nbi_all\ext\infra\build\engine\build\ext\engine\build\empty}}
{{ [javac] Compiling 6 source files to C:\Users\Integ\OneDrive\Documents\NetBeansProjects\jManagerPlatform\build\installer\nbi_all\ext\infra\build\engine\build\ext\engine\build\classes}}
{{ [javac] error: Source option 5 is no longer supported. Use 6 or later.}}
{{ [javac] error: Target option 1.5 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later.}}
C:\Program Files\netbeans\harness\nbi\stub\template.xml:66: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Users\Integ\OneDrive\Documents\NetBeansProjects\jManagerPlatform\build\installer\build.xml:121: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Users\Integ\OneDrive\Documents\NetBeansProjects\jManagerPlatform\build\installer\nbi_all\.common\common.xml:584: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Users\Integ\OneDrive\Documents\NetBeansProjects\jManagerPlatform\build\installer\nbi_all\.common\common.xml:698: exec returned: 1

 

I am unsure what the message is talking about when it says "error: Source option 5 is no longer supported. Use 6 or later." and "error: Target option 1.5 is no longer supported. User 1.6 or later."

I have searched through all of my settings, but am unable to find to what these messages are referring.

Again, I have not even added the first module to the project, just set up the project and changed properties regarding branding, then tried to build the installers.
