Based on discussion with JavaFX team on 12 AUG 13 I quote: > * JavaFX project - you can't set JDK8 as target JDK > * Can't set any arbitrary JDK as the default and otherwise everyone has to name their JDK exactly the same or shared project doesn't work The issue being that I want to use one version of Java to launch my IDE (like Java 6 or Java 7) and another version of Java as the default JVM for all projects in my IDE (like Java 8). Java 8 might not be stable enough for NB, but I need it as the default JDK for my development work. Since we can't change what JVM is the default, we have to have a specific named VM and anybody opening the project for the first time has to create the named JVM that I am expecting.
