Netbeans - change the JDK platform

Question

I used the Netbeans "7.3.1". Previously I used the JDK "1.7.0_25". Now I installed the new jdk(1.7.0_45) and changed the path settings in environmental variables also. But Netbeans still pointing to the JDK "1.7.0_25". For changing this , I used this link as reference. But I am unable to save that file. Plz anyone help on this.

Answer 1

As Frank pointed out in his provided answer that you are linking:

You may need Administrator privileges to edit netbeans.conf

Answer 2

on windows 7 with user picary you can try this: put the etc/netbeans.conf file into C:\\Users\\PICARY\\AppData\\Roaming\\NetBeans\\7.3 and C:\\Users\\PICARY\\AppData\\Local\\NetBeans\\Cache\\7.3
Open that config file and change your java installation to netbeans_jdkhome="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_45

Answer 3

To change the JDK trajectory in netbeans you must do the following.

You enter the directory where netbeans is installed. For example, C: \\ Program Files \\ NetBeans-xx \\ netbeans \\ etc and in the file

netbeans.conf

update the line netbeans_jdkhome = "insert the jdk path"
