DevFaqSpecifyJdkVersion
Add a line to your manifest, specifying which version of Java you need. E.g. to only run on JDK 6 and higher, not 5:
OpenIDE-Module-Java-Dependencies: Java > 1.6Note that > really means >=, and that the traditional "internal" version numbers like "1.5", "1.6", etc. must be used despite the new Java naming scheme (JDK 5, JDK 6, …).
Requesting 5+ is pointless since no recent version of NetBeans runs on JDK 1.4 anyway.
There is also a syntax for requesting a particular version of the virtual machine (as opposed to Java platform APIs) but this is seldom if ever used.
By default, your module will depend on the same Java version as you specify for javac.source,
i.e. the version of the Java language your module requires.
The NetBeans module development support permits you to pick a JDK to use for compiling (and running) a module or suite. Obviously you must specify a JDK at least as new as what your dependency requests; it is unwise to specify a newer JDK than that: you might accidentally use some newer APIs without realizing it, making your code not actually run on the declared minimum version.

Apache NetBeans is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF).
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
This wiki is an experiment pending Apache NetBeans Community approval.
