I've got the same issue!
I've got a top-level build.xml that builds a project that requires jdk 1.3 for
compiling. This works fine. I'd like this top-level build.xml to invoke a child
build.xml that builds a project that requires jdk 1.4.1 for compiling.
JAVA_HOME for the build environment is set to the 1.3 JDK so the top-level build uses
1.3 as expected. The child build fails since it uses JDK 1.4 features and ant is
using JDK 1.3 for the compiles.
How can I force the child build to use JDK 1.4?
Here's the target in the parent build.xml that invokes the child build.xml.
<target name="build-oe" depends="init" description="Executes the build for OE" >
<ant dir="oe" antfile="build.xml" target="build" inheritall="false" />
</target>

Subject: changing JAVA_HOME dynamically
I have two Ant builds. One requires JDK1.3.1 and the other JDK1.2.1. Is
there a way to change the JAVA_HOME from within the Ant scripts? I'd like
avoid writing a shell script just to do this..
Thanks,
Euan
