Is this really enough for you? Setting the build.compiler switch to
classic will make Ant use the "classic" compiler, but it will be the
one from the JDK you've used to start Ant - probably the classic
compiler of JDK 1.3.
You can get away with a single build file and antcall:
<target name="compile-1.2">
your 1.2 javac task here
</target>
<target name="compile-1.3">
your 1.3 javac task here
</target>
<target name="compile">
<antcall target="compile-1.2">
<param name="build.compiler" value="classic" />
</antcall>
<antcall target="compile-1.3">
<param name="build.compiler" value="modern" />
</antcall>
</target>
You can skip one of the two antcalls in favor of a depends attribute
if you know which setting of build.compiler will be the default.
If you really need two different JDKs, set the includeruntime and
includeantruntime attributes of <javac> to false and add tools.jar as
well as rt.jar of the required JDK to the classpath of that task
explicitly.
Your second point:
[src/foo/real-source-try and src/bar/real-source-tree - compile it
using having multiple <src> elements]

Probably not - maybe include-files can help here?
