Maven project: Java Platform from Project Properties is ignored

[NicolaIsotta]

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 13

What happened

If Maven java platform is not the default JDK, and in project properties I set Java Platform to the default one, Maven does not use the JDK set in project properties.

How to reproduce

Netbean 13 clean install Set JDK home to Adoptium 11 (if it's not picked up automatically) In Tools -> Java Platforms add a different JDK (I used Adoptium 1.8) In Tools -> Options -> Java -> Maven change Default JDK to the just added one File -> New Project... -> Java with Maven -> Finish Right click on project -> Properties -> Sources check that Sources/Binary format is set to "11" Right click on project -> Properties -> Compile change Java Platform to "JDK 11 (Default)" Build the project -> the build fails for invalid target release

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

Apache NetBeans 12.3 or earlier

I think this is working as designed, even if the UI is somewhat non-obvious. If the project JDK is set to default then it will use the global setting. Of course the JDK 11 label then for the default option is wrong. I would register both JDKs as explicit platforms and try with that.

[NicolaIsotta]

Yeah, you're right. Adding another JDK 11 entry in the platforms and using it project properties works. Maybe the UI could be a little clearer with a new entry in the Java Platforms dropdown in the project properties:

• Maven Default
• all the other entries from Tools -> Java Platforms, including Netbeans default
