Description tmcginn 2011-08-24 22:42:33 UTC 
When JDK 7 is the only platform in use, it would be great to be able to make JDK 7 the default Source/Binary format for new projects.

Alternatively, it would be great to be able to set the Source/Binary format for the tool.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2011-08-24 23:21:30 UTC 
Probably this could be handled the same way as encoding: the source level for a new project would simply be the last source level that was set on an existing project. Then there is no need to hunt for a preferences item; your last choice is used as a default.

Maven projects are different since they are created from archetype.
Comment 2 MackSix 2011-11-10 11:02:51 UTC 
Why does the Source/Binary format not match the Java Platform being used? Why is it always JDK 6 when the default platform is JDK 7? It seems to me it should just default to what the default platform is. It seems to be more of a P4 bug to me, but maybe I am missing something? :)
Comment 3 Tomas Zezula 2011-11-10 13:38:00 UTC 
Both min(last used, default_platform.sourceLevel) and default_platform.sourceLevel are possible.
Comment 4 Tomas Zezula 2011-11-10 14:07:14 UTC 
The 1.6 for JDK 7.0 platform was a fix of isse #89131.
Now it's safe to return 1.7.
