There is a simple solution,
use destdir="${src.java.dir}". This is the root of the
class/package tree.
You might want to use srcdir="${src.java.dir}" also. Ant
will scan for sourcefiles within that tree. You can narrow
the search using includes and excludes.
Your example should look like:
<javac
srcdir="${src.java.dir}"
destdir="${src.java.dir}"
includes="com/databottling/fountain/core/Constants.java"
debug="${debug}"
/>
See the manual for more information on the include/exclude stuff.
Cheers,
