Create a platform for the project with the same name. – Dave Newton Jan 31 '14 at 22:17 — Dave Newton, Jan 31 '14 at 22:17

Do you have the Java JDK 1.6 installed? If not, you have to change the java platform version (in the properties of the java project). Or you install Java JDK 1.6 ;)

It's not *just* a matter of having JDK 1.6, it's a matter of defining the JDK with a specific name inside NetBeans. – Dave Newton Feb 01 '14 at 01:18

You have two choices.

You Could

Download and install Java JDK 6

In Netbeans, goto Tools > Java Platforms. Click [Add Platform], Select [Java Standard Edition] and click [Next], Browse to the location that you have installed Java 6 JDK to and select [Finish]. You should then be able to name the platform if you wish.

Or You Could

Right click the project node, select [Properties]. Under the "Source" category, make souce that the Source/Binary Format is JDK 6. Under the "Libraries" category, select the default JDK from the Java Platform combobox or change it to whatever you want.
