Hi All,

I'm struggling with a build script that needs to be able to compile and jar 
java code 
against different JDKs, depending on a property setting.

>From my reading of the Ant docs, I should be able to use either the 
>build.compiler 
property or the compiler attribute to specify which JDK I want the java source 
compiled 
with.  In my situation it's either 1.4 or 1.5.

My build machine has the JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to the JDK 1.5 
version and this always seems to be used to compile the code, regardless of 
what I do 
with the "build.compiler" property or "compiler" attribute.

I've been trying to set the "build.compiler" property within my ant script - 
will this work, or 
can this only be set via an ANT_OPTS commandline option?  In any case, if I 
leave out 
the build.compiler property and just set the "compiler" attribute to 
"javac1.4", I still get 
classes compiled using JDK 1.5.

I suspect I'm misunderstanding something here, can anyone set me right?

TIA,
