If you mean you have something like executable="${prop}" then Ant will
try to execute an executable named ${prop} if the property named
"prop" isn't set.  Setting it to an empty string wouldn't help either.


Basically I want the default compiler to be the one that's executing Ant but the ability to override that thru a properties file. It sounds like I actually have to have javac's conditional
on prop so I need multiple javac tasks.

Will it use the jvm that's running ant to do the compile?

Only if there is no executable attribute at all.
