| == My module requires JDK 6; how do I keep it from being loaded in JDK 5? |
| |
| Add a line to your manifest, specifying which version of Java you need. E.g. to only run on JDK 6 and higher, not 5: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| |
| OpenIDE-Module-Java-Dependencies: Java > 1.6 |
| ---- |
| |
| Note that `>` really means `>=`, and that the traditional "internal" version numbers like "1.5", "1.6", etc. must be used despite the new Java naming scheme (JDK 5, JDK 6, ...). |
| |
| Requesting 5+ is pointless since no recent version of NetBeans runs on JDK 1.4 anyway. |
| |
| There is also a syntax for requesting a particular version of the virtual machine |
| (as opposed to Java platform APIs) but this is seldom if ever used. |
| |
| By default, your module will depend on the same Java version as you specify for `javac.source`, |
| i.e. the version of the Java language your module requires. |
| |
| The NetBeans module development support permits you to pick a JDK to use for compiling |
| (and running) a module or suite. |
| Obviously you must specify a JDK at least as new as what your dependency requests; |
| it is unwise to specify a newer JDK than that: |
| you might accidentally use some newer APIs without realizing it, |
| making your code not actually run on the declared minimum version. |
| |

| Applies to: NetBeans 6.x |
