+ |                              DESCRIPTION                                   |
+ The Javac task makes use of the build.compiler property to determine the 
+ compiler it should use (javac, jikes, etc.).  The EJBJar task uses an attribute 
+ in the nested Weblogic element to do the same thing (the attribute 
+ is 'compiler').  It would be nice if either 
+ 
+ 1) EJBJar used the build.compiler property just as Javac does.  This would 
+ effectively link the two tasks ensuring they use the same compiler.  I've had 
+ UnmarshallingExceptions galore when using EJBs where container classes are 
+ generated using Javac but the bean classes are compiled using Jikes.  This 
+ option is a little less flexible.
+ 
+ 2) Javac used an attribute to control the compiler, the same way that EJBJar 
+ does.  This way, they could be linked by a property if that's what you want, 
+ but it's flexible enough to have them use seperate compilers if THAT's what you 
+ want (for whatever reason).
+ 
+ Not a high priority, since I'm sure there's a workaround right now.
+ Thanks,
+ David
