How do I downgrade an existing project from Java EE5 to J2EE 1.4 in Netbeans (7.0.1)

I've created a new (Web Application) project in Netbeans 7.0.1 and set the Java EE version to Java EE 5. The options that I then have for the Source/Binary Format (Project Properties > Sources > Source/Binary Format) are JDK 5 and 6.

If during creation I set the Java EE version to J2EE 1.4, then the options that I then have for the Source/Binary Format include also JDK 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4.

Is there any way after I've created a project with Java EE version set to Java EE 5 to change down to J2EE 1.4, so that I can use Source/Binary Format 1.4? It is not available as an option in project properties.

Of course I can re-create the project using the existing sources, but I wondered if there is a more straigh-forward way.

Tried to fix the problem by changing the following lines in nbproject/project.properties:

from:

j2ee.platform=1.5

javac.source=1.5

javac.target=1.5

to:

j2ee.platform=1.4

javac.source=1.4

javac.target=1.4

I don't know if is is OK to change it manually, will try and see if it is enough and does not cause any other problems.
