Hi Erik, I did not look at this bit of code, but I am confident that generally you can run javac with fork="true" and use the executable that you have set as attribute of the javac task (for instance have ant run under 1.4 VM and compile with the 1.3 compiler).
Can you try fork="true" compiler="javac1.1" executable="path/to/your/1.1exe" this might work I had this idea when looking at this piece of code : protected boolean assumeJava11() { return "javac1.1".equals(attributes.getCompilerVersion()) || ("classic".equals(attributes.getCompilerVersion()) && JavaEnvUtils.isJavaVersion(JavaEnvUtils.JAVA_1_1)) || ("extJavac".equals(attributes.getCompilerVersion()) && JavaEnvUtils.isJavaVersion(JavaEnvUtils.JAVA_1_1)); } Cheers, Antone -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: Erik Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 29.

In my case, it returns a JavacExternal because I have specified fork="true". However, in line 78 of JavacExternal.java (in Ant 1.5.4 source code), the JavacExternal then determines the executable to use by querying getJavacExecutable(), which is in JavacExternal's superclass Javac. Then, this method returns the system Javac if fork="true". So it seems that what needs to be fixed [first] is Javac.getJavacExecutable(), unless I'm misreading this somehow. Erik ===== -- Copyright.
