javac: invalid flag -sourcepath???

[Zhendi Su <ra...@oracle.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to compile some .java files and my task looks like:

<javac srcdir="${JAVAC_SRC}/common"  destdir="${okcbasedir}/classes"
target="1.1" bootclasspath="/local/java/jdk1.1.8/lib/classes.zip"
extdirs=" " depend="True" failonerror="False" >

<classpath path="${CLASSPATH}"/>
<exclude name="${JAVAC_SRC}/common/RCS/**" />

</javac>

When I ran ant, it gave me an error message saying:
 [javac] javac: invalid flag: -sourcepath
    [javac] use: javac
[-g][-O][-debug][-depend][-nowarn][-verbose][-classpath p
ath][-nowrite][-deprecation][-d dir][-J<runtime flag>] file.java...

This really surprised me because I had a similar javac task before and
it worked perfect.  Also, Isn't -sourcepath a valid flag in javac?  And
this -sourcepath flag is gerenated by ant...  I ran ant using -verbose
option and the compilation argument is follows:

   [javac] Compiling 5 source files to /home/rsu/okcbuild/classes
    [javac] Using classic compiler
    [javac] Compilation args: -d /home/rsu/okcbuild/classes -classpath

ld -g:none -Xdepend


Anyone got an idea why?

Thanks a lot!

You are trying to use JDK's 1.1 compiler while running in a 1.2 JVM.
Ant uses comman line switches that match the version of JDK it is
running on, -sourcepath didn't exist in 1.1 but Ant will use it as it
is running on a 1.2 VM.

Fix: Use the JDK 1.1 java executable to run Ant.
