javac and JDK 1.4

[Steve Buroff <sj...@verizon.net>]

Anyone know how to use ant javac with JDK 1.4. I need to supply
the "-source 1.4" option to get it to handle my asserts. I see no
way to do this and the compiler bombs. Anyone know a workaround?
Thanks

A temporary patch and related commentary is listed in Ant
Bug 3045
(http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3045).
Stefan Bodewig has a new javac task in CVS which requires
three files be added to the source release for 1.5alpha (my
particular solution). The assert issues with javadoc have
yet to be resolved at Sun. Again, see the commentary.

That's not the problem. I need to give the
"-source 1.4" option to the compiler and I
don't see how to do that. If javac had an
"additionalparams" property like javadoc does,
that would solve the problem. However, it doesn't.
