How to pass command line options to the java compile through "comsol compile"

Hello, My problem is that my system JDK (on linux) is more recent than what comsol accepts. As far as I remember the java compile can be instructed to produce class files with older versions (using the -target option?). My question is, how can one pass this option to the java compile through the 'comsol compile' script? comsol compile -jdkroot /path/to/jdk ???? my_file.java Thank you Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I struggled with this a lot, until I moved to Eclipse : if you more or less follow the instructions to set up Eclipse given in the first few pages of the API reference manual, Eclipse will be able to compile for you, and will indeed do so automatically each time you save a java file (at least if "automatically build" is ticked).
Now, I might be wrong but I suspect that if you create one User library per version of comsol you have, the compilation version will be that of the jar files you loaded in your Eclipse project ...
