Use a different compiler with ant’s javac task

March 9th, 2009 No Comments

To ignore the JAVA_HOME settings and specify the compiler to use in ant’s javac task set the following properties:
build.properties:
# Set the jdk compiler properties
build.javac.executable=C:/Applications/Java/jdk1.5.0_13/bin/javac.exe

build.javac.compiler=javac1.5
Then in the build script use:
<javac srcdir=”${src.dir}” destdir=”${classes.dir}”
classpath=”${classpath}” debug=”${debug.flag}”
fork=”yes” executable=”${build.javac.executable}”
compiler=”${build.javac.compiler}”/>
