What's Source Level?

[nvarun]

Hello all,

I am making a module suite, and its Java Platform has been set to 1.6 (default) I have just added one module and working on it, it has Source Level 1.5

I think it means I would be using JDK 1.6 for writing/building the code, right? Then, what do you mean by Source Level?

Thanks,

Source level would be the JDK version you are using.

See javac docs regarding the -source option.
