I've been kicking around this idea for quite some time now, how about <javac ..> <jikes pedantic="no" emacs="yes" /> </javac> which would be ignored if using a different compiler than jikes. Would an approach like this fit your needs? I know it has some limitations if compared to a CSS based approach - even compared to the property approach we currently take. Most notably I can easily setup my environment to always call Ant with -Dbuild.compiler.emacs=true now, while I'd need to ensure every build file has a <jikes> element nested into every <javac> with the appropriate setting of the emacs attribute to achieve the same effect.
