Netbeans Broken Platform

Question

How can I specify two names to satisfy a Java dependency? I'm using Netbeans and by default, Linux calls OpenJDK "JDK_7". Windows calls Oracle JDK "JDK 1.7". I would like to make it so that by default either name is acceptable because my code builds the same on both platforms.

Is there a way to specify a "platform" can be either A or B in Netbeans/ant?

Solution 1

There are two lines in the nbproject/project.properties file

platform.active=default_platform
platforms.default_platform.home=${java.home}/../ 

These make the Netbeans Platform choose the default platform as the standard platform.

Solution 2

Right click on the project. Then, select "properties". Select "Libraries" from the categories on the left hand side of Project Properties. And then select the new "Java Platform".
