Does Ant's version 1.4.1 support Java's jdk1.1.8?

Hi,

I am using Ant 1.4.1 on a UNIX (Solaris) platform. I have two compilers available: jdk1.1.8 and jdk 1.2.2. When I ran ant using jdk 1.2.2 the build was successful. But when I change to jdk1.1.8, the build failed. I basically switched the compilers by typing:

setenv JAVA_HOME /local/java/jdk1.1.8, or
setenv JAVA_HOME /local/java/jdk1.2.2

My build.xml file looks like:

<target name="init">
<tstamp/>
<mkdir dir="/home/rsu/test" />
</target>

<target name="compileSub" depends="init">
<javac srcdir="/home/rsu" destdir="/home/rsu/test">
<classpath path="${CLASSPATH}"/>

</javac>
</target>

<target name="archive" depends="compileSub">
<mkdir dir="/home/rsu/jar" />
<jar jarfile="/home/rsu/jar/okc_${TODAY}.jar" basedir="/home/rsu/test" />
</target>


<target name="cleanup" depends="archive">
<delete>
<fileset dir="/home/rsu/test/" includes="**/*.class" />
</delete>
</target>

</project>

I noticed two things:

1) If I used jdk 1.2.2 everything worked fine. If I used jdk 1.1.8, I got the following error message:

[javac] Compiling 2 source files to /home/rsu/test

2) If I removed /afrz/crmcon/kdv7core/comn/java/apps.zip from my classpath and used jdk1.1.8, the build succeeded.

So I wonder:
1) Does Ant 1.4.1 still support jdk 1.1?
2) If not, is any earlier version of Ant available that supports jdk 1.1?
3) I am new to Ant, so if the above error seems to you like something other than the jdk problem, what could it be? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks a lot!
