javac, jdk1.3, Win32

[Scott Sutherland <su...@ncs.com>]

When I fetched the lastest ant from anoncvs tonight, bootstraped and
built I started running into the following problem:

Here's the relevent section of build.xml:

<target name="CompPackDist" depends="MakePackDistDest">
  <!-- Compiles the source code -->
  <echo message="destdir=${class.dir}"/>
  <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${class.dir}" classpath="${classpath}" debug="on" deprecation="on" excludes="com/ncs/pd/ejb/**, com/ncs/pd/servlets/**, com/ncs/pd/managers/PreId*, com/ncs/pd/managers/Imports/**"/>
</target>

All properties are defined correctly (I believe =) Breaking the target
down into pieces didn't seem to affect anything...  The same script
runs correctly for jdk1.2.2

Here's the environment:

D:\usr\src\pd2.1>java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 2.0fcs-E, mixed mode)

D:\usr\src\pd2.1>ant -version

Looking at doModernCompile didn't help me, however, a verbose
execution of the same build.xml file looked to produce a valid set of
arguments.

Any help would be great!

Thanks, should be fixed now.

For some reason I forgot I had -Dbuild.compiler=jikes in my .antrc
when I tested my changes using JDK 1.3, sorry.
