Issue
I tried to run this below code:
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
But the IDE show me an error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: PWC6309: Illegal compilerSourceVM: 12
at org.apache.jasper.JspC.setCompilerSourceVM(JspC.java:724)
at org.netbeans.modules.web.project.ant.JspC.main(JspC.java:80)
at org.netbeans.modules.web.project.ant.JspCSingle.main(JspCSingle.java:119)
F:\Code\Netbean project\Smartphone Shop\nbproject\build-impl.xml:936: Java returned: 1
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)
How to fix this error? I used Netbeans 11.0 with Tomcat 9.0.
Solution
Open:
[YOUR PROJECT DIR]/nbproject/build-impl.xml
And remove or comment out these 2 lines:
<arg value="-compilerSourceVM ${javac.source}"/>
<arg value="-compilerTargetVM ${javac.target}"/>
That's it. Worked for me :)
