Description im2curious 2013-03-07 10:27:05 UTC 
Prior to 7.3, there used to be a menu at Tools->Options->Miscellaneous->JavaScript, which allowed you to select the JS language version for syntax checking.

This is now missing and I have not found it anywhere else.

I'm trying to edit a Mozilla extension, written in JavaScript 1.8.5, but all of the newer language elements are detected as syntax errors, effectively making NetBeans unusable for my purpose.

We had to change in NB 7.3 the parser from Rhino to Nashorn. Nashorn parser is more strict and don't support Mozilla extensions so far. I can fix it only with an ugly hack.

I'm not going to solve it in this release.

Are we ever going to fix this? I guess you can close this, Petr.

New option is created for a project. The option allow choose between EcmaScript 5.1 and EcmaScript 6.0.
