Description _ mm132998 2006-07-01 11:14:13 UTC 
I need to build my project with JDK 1.4 (or earlier).
Netbeans requires a minimum of JDK 5 , so the default project will always be JDK
5 or later.
The free form project does not allow me a way to specify which JDK Platform to
be used (this is available in netbeans managed j2se project).

This is related to the fact that the mobility module does not seem to work well
with jdk5 ... see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4285177
So importing freeform projects into a mobility project is not possible.
