As per the example in the manual:

"If you want to run the javac compiler of a different JDK, you should
tell Ant, where to find the compiler and which version of JDK you will
be using so it can choose the correct command line switches. The
following example executes a JDK 1.1 javac in a new process and uses the
correct command line switches even when Ant is running in a Java VM of a
different version:

  <javac srcdir="${src}"
         destdir="${build}"
         fork="yes"
         executable="/opt/java/jdk1.1/bin/javac"
         compiler="javac1.1"
  />"
