Thanks Jan, this withing the javac-argument solved the problem:
<compilerarg value="-XDignore.symbol.file" /> This grants access to the restricted API!

Mai 2014 14:24 An: 'Ant Users List' Betreff: AW: Cannot find symbol (CertAndKeyGen) with JDK8 I could reproduce the problem. You are trying to refer to a private API, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/faq-sun-packages-142232.html I could load the class via reflection (Class.forName) but not via direct reference. While searching I found some hints: https://svn.forgerock.org/opendj/trunk/opends/src/server/org/opends/server/u til/Platform.java else { // Java 8 moved the CertAndKeyGen class to sun.security.tools.keytool certAndKeyGen = pkgPrefix + ".tools.keytool" + ".CertAndKeyGen"; } Here this class is used via reflection. Also you get some responses via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23737746/cant-compile-with-ant-v1-9-4-and -jdk8-cli Adding all jars from java.home to the classpath doesnt work ... So it seems that you have to use reflection. Jan > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Markus Wiesenbacher [mailto:markus.wiesenbac...@intrafind.de] > Gesendet: Montag, 19.
