Niels and Conor: thanks for your reply!
But... (there's always a "but", ain't there?!? ;-)
We're (still!) using Weblogic 4.5.1, and hence are
stuck on the "ddcreator" and "ejbc" tasks... is
there a way to make the "ejbc" task use jikes??? it
appears that the "ejbjar" task is the only one that
formally supports the "compiler" option... or is it?
Thanks,
Peter

As Niels Verdonk pointed out, you can use the compiler attribute of
<ejbjar>. I thought I'd also let you know that in 1.4, <ejbjar> will
automatcially check if build.compiler is set to Jikes and use Jikes if it
is. You can turn off this behaviour.
I am on this list (not sure how you could have missed me :-), but I haven't
heard from Tim in a long while.
