javac target attribute under suns jdk1.4

           Summary: javac target attribute under suns jdk1.4
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: neilasmyth@yahoo.com


Task: javac
Attribute: target

The use of the target attribute with a value of "1.1" does not seem to be 
working. 

System info:
=======
src 462 :java -version
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

src>ant -version
Ant version 1.4 compiled on September 3 2001
=======

If I do a straightforward javac with the "-target 1.1" parameter the generated 
bytecode works fine under a 1.1 JRE. However if I do a corresponding task in 
ant the generated bytecode does not work under a 1.1 JRE.

The same attribute works fine with the 1.3 jdk compiler, so maybe something has 
chenged in the java interface to the compiler between 1.3 and 1.4?

In any case, it means I am cannot use ant1.4.1 with jdk1.4 which I would like 
to do.

Regards,

Neil
