How to change default value of facet jst.java ?

[juergen.zimmermann]

When creating an EJB or a Web module, then the default value for jst.java is 5.0, although the Java compiler compliance level is set to 6.0 (via preferences). How can I change the default value for jst.java to 6.0? I'm using the nightly build 201001171703N-H141.

Any hint is appreciated.

Well, this way the current value of a facet can be changed for an existing project. However, I'm looking to change the default value of jst.java *before* I create a new project, so that this default value has to be set once -- instead of setting it *always* after a new project is created.

The WTP project wizard doesn't save the facet version you have chosen and there isn't any UI to set the deafult version for a facet.

However, you can create a user preset (configuration) by clicking the Modify button on the first page of the WTP project wizard and save it with "Save As".
You would need to create a new preset for each type of your project (Web, EJB ...).
