*** Issue 56149 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** This issue can be split into 2 parts:
The first is related to the default.javac.source and the default.javac.source
since they are the only needed by building and can be recreated by the IDE. The
values of these properties are stored in the ${nb_user}/build.properties. The
private.properties holds the path to this file (user.properties.file property).
The user.properties.file is regenerated when the project is reopened. This is
enough to solve this problem.
The second is worse. There are two ways to solve it. The first already works.
For the second one there is an enhancement.
The reference is put into the private.properties only in the case when its
target is not collocated to project. The files are collocated if the library is
under the project folder or the library and project are under the single VCS
root. If the second is your case and it does not work, please report it to
vcscore module (I am not sure if it already works).
The second (not yet implemented) way is to create sharable library declararion,
see enhancement: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=44035
Marking as a duplicate of the only unimplemented case.

A J2SE project cannot build without a nbproject/private/private.properties file being customized (normally done when in the IDE). Since this file contains user or machine-specific information, it should not be checked into a shared repository (such as CVS). It should be possible to checkout a project and build it without first customizing it. To workaround this problem in my project, I added the following target to its build.xml: <target name="-pre-init"> <!-- Set default build properties for those defined in the IDE build.properties, so standalone builds work. --> <property name="libs.jackpot-javac.classpath" value="${basedir}/lib/gjc-rt.jar"/> <property name="default.javac.target" value="1.5"/> <property name="javadoc.additionalparam" value=""/> </target> The first defines a library which is in the project's repository. The Library Manager should be able to detect library that is part of the project and define it in nbproject/project.properties instead of private.properties. The next definition, default.javac.target, should not be defined in ~/.netbeans/<ver>/build.properties. It should either be explicitly set in the project.properties like javac.source is, or default to ${default.javac.source}, since the most common practice is for the source and target to be the same. I think the last definition is just a bug, as the other javadoc.* properties are all initialized in nbproject/project.properties.
