Currently, to develop modules for Autopsy, you must be using Java 1.6.
If you have the Autopsy source code open in NetBeans, you can verify the Autopsy project is running with Java 1.6 by right clicking the project, choosing Properties, and checking that under Libraries the Java Platform is JDK 1.6 and under Sources the Source Level is 1.6.
\subsection mod_dev_setup_autopsy Autopsy as a Development Enviroment

\li Autopsy installed on your machine
\li The Autopsy source code, downloaded from GitHub
If you have Autopsy installed on your machine and would like to use that as your development environment, proceed to \ref mod_dev_module. Note that older versions of Autopsy may not have the latest features available for module development.
To use the latest Autopsy source code as your development environment, first follow BUILDING.TXT to properly build and setup Autopsy in NetBeans.
