Run Java webapp under Netbeans with tomcat 5.5 and Java 1.5

Question

I wass wondering why I can't setup an enviroment with Netbeans 6.9.1 in combination with Tomcat 5.5 and Java 1.5.

I can only choose for Java 1.4. Is this a restriction of Netbeans? In the past this web application has run under Myeclipse tomcat 5.5 and Java 1.5. But because of the huge memory issues of myeclipse I want to try Netbeans.

Answer 1

The JSEE 1.4 means not Java 1.4 it means the Java Enterprise Version 1.4 (Servlet 2.3). You can use JSEE 1.4 with Java 5 or 6.

Answer 2

Check your JAVA_HOME environment setting to see which JDK Tomcat is using. That might the the problem. It is located in your catalina.bat or catalina.sh point it to the right jdk.
