My JDK8 NetBeans project has the following warning. warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 8 However, my code is building successfully! Can someone help with why this issue is happening?

also note Ant javac task now supports this option.
"release Specify the value for the --release switch. When set and running on JDK 9+ the source and target attributes as well as the bootclasspath will be ignored. Since Ant 1.9.8. Required? No, ignored when running on JDK 8 or earlier"
For example, can replace source="1.8" and target="1.8" entries with a single release="8" entry. Note that release attribute has different values (no prefix "1." used).
Note also that this will fail if Ant 1.9 (or better) isn't available.
This can't be used in IDE-provided build files in the nbproject subdirectory, where build files have an explicit warning not to be edited.
