Afzal,
The use of the output attribute for <java> is incorrect. This will take the
output, ie. the messages, generated by javac and put them in a file. It
won't be a jar. Your arg lines are different - you are using "-compiler" in
one and "-compile" in another. Finally, you need to use either an <arg line>
in the <java> command, similar to what you have done for the <exec>, or you
need to use multiple <arg value> elements, one per argument.
