using other compilers

[Scott_Carter]

One other note, I will still have to use the javac compiler also.  So I
need to be able to call the javac compiler, then the idl2java compiler then
javac again.  I do not know how to call the idl2java compiler.  I tryed the
exec command:

<target name="idl">
    <exec executable="idl2java
{cm.root.dir}/com/i/cm/dna/sis/admin/Admin.idl" />
  </target>

ERROR:

I need to use a idl2java compiler from ant.  I was going to use the exec
command but I do not think it will work cross platform.  How can I do this?

Thanks in advance for the help
