I'm afraid there is no way to run the <sql> task in a different JVM than the rest of Ant. Judging from https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/8.0/en/connector-j-versions.html your MySQL Connector requires Java8 as a minimum. But then again the same page also claims the Connector version 5.1 - which only requires Java 5 - would work with the latest MySQL server (except for using certain ciphers in TLS). By no means am I a MySQL expert. > We're building a legacy application here that CANNOT upgrade to a > newer version of Java... Understood. You could try to move the sql part to a different build file and only run that in a different JVM (via <exec>, <ant> will not fork a new VM). Or you could try to build with Java8 and tell all your <javac> tasks to use the compiler of Java7. In either case this sounds like quite a bit of work. I'm sorry I haven't got any better news. Maybe anybody with more MySQL experience than I has has more ideas.
