Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0 (Build 201403101706) Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_65 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.65-b04 If you are making a project such as a NetBeans plug-in, and you right-click on the project and then click "Properties" then you can change the source level to anything between 1.4 and 1.8, but if you then click the "Help" button it says "Source Level. Sets the javac.source property in the nbproject/project.properties file. The options are 1.4, 1.5, or 1.6.". But in fact the options are 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8. So the documentation is wrong and should be updated.
