Talking about Jikes, Ant expects it to be in the PATH, same holds true for Microsoft's jvc. It doesn't use javac.exe at all but calls the compiler classes directly. Right at the moment <javac> will always use the javac implementation that matches the VM Ant is running in - and I doubt it would work if you'd try to invoke the javac implementation of JDK 1.1 when running in JDK 1.2. When you set build.compiler to jikes, it will include the rt.jar or classes.zip for the current JVM as well - this is determined by setting the environment variable JAVA_HOME BTW - there are some situations where this is not what you want and this might be changed in the next release.
