[67cat] [other] What does this mean?

[Glenn Holmer]

What does this message in the log mean?  I've seen it in both 6.7 and
dailies of "the IDE soon to be known as 6.8":

Changing source level to 1.3Even though the source level

Not sure. I encountered this myself and enhanced the message in d721e935e952 (previously it had no details).

It may mean that your project is misconfigured - note the empty bootclasspath. Is this a freeform project? Please file a bug report in java/source, CC jglick, and add any
details to reproduce you might have and can share in public (e.g. project.xml).

If in fact the immediate symptom is an empty bootcp, changing source level from 1.6 to 1.3 is not going to help anything. The current code tests for AssertionError to see
if the bootcp is 1.4+, but it should really first check for java.lang.Object to see if the bootcp is valid at all.

I encountered the same and thought it has something to do with my  
virtual machine on OSX.
Is this  reproducable on other platforms, too?
