Sorry Beat, I did not answer your question. Ant does not have a Java compiler. Java has a Java compiler.
It looks to me as if Java is running the "modern" compiler that is built into your version of Java. If Java has to load some java classes to do the compile, it know where to get them, so has no need to use the command line. When forking, it needs to start up a new Java invocation anyway so it uses the command line to run javac.
