Javac task may fail if forking and "user.dir" property is not the same as the directory from which jvm started.

           Summary: Javac task may fail if forking and "user.dir" property
                    is not the same as the directory from which jvm started.
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: harras@areal.by


Javac task may fail if forking and "user.dir" property is not the same as the 
directory from which jvm started. This is due to the feachure of JDK which does 
not seem to be corrected(see 
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4483097.html).
I propose to deal only with absolute paths, for instance in the source file 
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.compilers.DefaultCompilerAdapter line 390:

tmpFile = new File("jikes"+(new Random(System.currentTimeMillis())).nextLong());

in my use this file appears relative to the JVM start directory and later this 
file is asked by

commandArray[firstFileName] = "@" + tmpFile.getAbsolutePath();

but .getAbsolutePath() returns file path relative to the "user.dir" property.
