+ The Harness tab lets you select a build harness to use + independently of the actual modules in the platform. For example, + using the 5.0u1 harness with a 5.0 platform you can select a specific + JDK to build and run against, even though the harness bundled with + 5.0 did not permit this. +

+

+ Harness supplied with IDE, if selected, uses the harness + bundled with the NetBeans IDE that is running. This will generally be + the most up-to-date harness available and so is recommended. Always + selected for the default platform. +

+

+ Harness supplied with Platform, if selected, uses the harness + which is bundled with this platform (currently in the + harness cluster subdirectory). Disabled for the default + platform. +

+

+ Other lets you use any harness on disk. Browse… + lets you pick the harness directory using a file chooser. Disabled + for the default platform. +

+

+ Selected Harness Version (read-only) displays a version + identification of the currently selected harness. Currently possible + values are 5.0, 5.0 update 1, and unknown. +
