RE: Using JDKs with jar files

[Pinar Bicioglu]

I have the following part in my build.xml file. 

<target name="LifeSimulatorApplet-compile" depends="prepare">
    <javac srcdir="${src-dir}"
           destdir="${build-dir}"
           classpath="${classpath}"
           deprecation="on"
           target="1.1.8"
           optimize="off"
           bootclasspath="${Java118Classes}"
           includes="${LifeSimulatorApplet-compile-list}"
    />
  </target>

When I run it it says;

"[javac] The release '1.1.8' is unknown to this compiler."

I included "<property file="build.properties" /> " part at the top of the
file and it looks like the following;

jdk118root=d:/jdk1.1.8
jdk122root=d:/jdk1.2.2

Java122Classes=${jdk122root}/jre/lib/rt.jar
Java118Classes=${jdk118root}/lib/classes.zip

My environment has been set to 1.2.2 though. Because LifeSimulatorApplet is
the target that i wish to use a different jdk than what i am running Ant
with.
Any ideas?

For the <java> task, you can specify the "jvm" attribute with the
full-path of the 'java' executable in order to use a different one from
what you're running Ant with (you need to also specify fork="yes"). For
the <javac> task, you should be able to turn off the inclusion of the
system and Ant classes and just specify the classes you want to use for
the JDK you want to compile against.



Please correct me if I am wrong. in the <javac> task I can only use
supported versions of JDKs right? such as 1.1, 1.3 ... However I'd like to
compile one of my targets in build.xml file woth JDK 1.1.8 ? is this one of
the versions that <javac> task supports? because I read in the Ant user's
manual that if I want to use a different compiler interface than jdk1.1, 1.2
or 1.3 or jikes , I need to write a class that implements the
CompilerAdapter interface

Thanks
