How can I get Ant to use jikes for javac tags instead of sun's javac?

[Jeff Trent <jt...@structsoft.com>]

I'd like:
    <javac srcdir="src" destdir="${deploy.home}/WEB-INF/classes"
           classpath="${deploy.home}/WEB-INF/classes"
           debug="on" optimize="off" deprecation="off"/>

to use jikes instead.  Has anyone done this?

Hi, it's a bit off topic here, but an answer anyway..

Snapshot from the documentation :

It is possible to use different compilers. This can be selected with the
"build.compiler" property. There are four choices:
classic (the standard compiler of JDK 1.1/1.2)
modern (the new compiler of JDK 1.3)
jikes (the Jikes compiler)
jvc (the Command-Line Compiler from Microsoft's SDK for Java / Visual J++)
