Because probably nobody responsible for the build files has been aware of JDK 1.4's "feature" yet.

Seriously, this is something that needs to get addressed (fall back to modern as we do the other way around for JDK 1.2 and 1.1). > My point is that most people just don't know about this new > wonderfull 'feature' of JDK1.4. I simply don't want to turn the JDK 1.4 feature into an Ant 1.5 feature of "why does Ant force me to set the target attribute if I don't care for JDK 1.1". Documenting it in <javac>'s doc and on a 1.4 issues page is better than implicitly setting command line switches just because we feel the default value is wrong.
