Use the Help will show you more details why 1.4 is recommended. This is all NetBeans web project model. You have might have resolved #2, but there is still #1 and #3. Of the two
remaining, you can choose to ignore #3 as it is a nit pick. #3 is just one of
those little things that make the product unprofessional and not worth filing a
bug over. But while I was reporting on #1, it made sense to mention it.
I filed this because I saw people asking how to create 1.1 Visual Web Projects
using 1.5. I saw this wizard is not making that information intuitively obvious.
People doing the wizard and seeing the choices might not infer that 1.5 is an
option. A little change in the wording can go a long way towards eliminating
confusion.
For example, a nbuser wrote:
> It doens't give support to java 1.5.
> Please...when it will be available with 1.5?
As for #2. The help says "Also, it is recommended that you use Java 2 Standard
Edition 1.4 (JDK 1.4) unless you know that the application server to which you
will deploy supports Java SE 5." The statement that 1.4 is recommended is based
on a constraint that doesn't always apply.
Maybe it might be better to say
"Note: Not all server versions support 1.5"
Last, I do not understand this sentence. Can you explain what you mean? Thanks.
"This is all NetBeans web project model."
