Question

I am transferring a project source from one pc to another. When I click Clean and Build Main Project from Run Menu of Netbeans, I got this error:

init:

E:\Backup\My Documents (BackUp)\NetBeansProjects\AccountStatusChanger\nbproject\build-impl.xml:246: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

what will I do? Do i need to reinstall the SDK?

Answer 1

It looks as if the original machine has JDK 7 installed and the project was configured with that as the target, but the second machine has an older version.

• You can configure the project to target 1.6 or 1.5,

or

• If you need JDK 7 then you’ll have to install it in the second machine.
