I've done what you suggested, that is having Ant run in the 1.3 VM, but with the path set to pick up 1.4 javac. For JDK 1.3 runs, it compiles without forking and for 1.4 it forks and uses the external compiler. Does seem a bit risky but we don't seem to have anything else relying on the path, so far so good. thanks for the help, jamie > > One thing I haven't tried is forking <javac> - in 1.4.1 Ant didn't try > to be smart when searching for javac, it would use the javac that is > in your PATH.
