DrJava-2019-220051 using JDK 7.0_7 as my compiler, even though I have JDK8.0_281 installed

New to DrJava and downloaded Java 8_281. It's been working all day. Under the compiler in DrJava, it even listed JDK 8 as its compiler. Now, all of a sudden, I open my program and the compiler has switched to JDK 7. It now outputs an error message anytime I try to run my program saying "javacTask: target release 1.7 conflicts with default source release 1.8"

I don't even have JDK 7 installed on my computer. I never had it installed. Plus, it was working fine all day. Then it switches up on me?

Any ideas as to why?

What output do you get if you type javac -version? – geekTechnique
drjava.org/docs/userdoc.pdf : The preferred compiler can also be selected permanently by setting the Compiler Preference in theCompiler Options category of the Preferences. DrJava will then choose the selected compiler at startup. – Joop Eggen
