Fail to install my NetBeans plugin

Question

Playing around with creating a NetBeans plugin but I am making very little progress since the process of installing the module fails. What I am doing is right-clicking on the and choosing the 'Install/Reload in Development IDE' option and it fails with the following exception:

Enabling StandardModule:org.willcodejavaforfood.com jarFile: /Users/Erik/NetBeansProjects/module2/build/cluster/modules/org-willcodejavaforfood-com.jar...

Using NetBeans 6.5 and running Java 1.6 on Mac OS X 10.5.6

Answer 1

If you make a new NetBeans module project and simply run that does it work? (trying to narrow the issue down, and eliminating anything but the absolute basics is a good place to start)

Answer 2

Apperently this is a NetBeans issue for Mac OS X...

Answer from netbeans forums

Answer 3

Looks like your target platform is set to JDK 5 but your module is built against JDK 6.
