http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31258 add build.compiler.executable default property Summary: add build.compiler.executable default property Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please enhance the implementation of <javac> to run the compiler program named by the Ant property ${build.compiler.executable} if <javac> has no executable attribute. This would enable adjacent definitions of the compiler and its version. For example (in a .properties file): build.compiler=jikes build.compiler.executable=T:/tools/jikes/1.20/bin/jikes This would be better than setting the PATH environment variable so that `jikes` resolves to the desired version, in two ways: it eases maintenance, by placing related parameters together; and it's less apt to have undesired side-effects such as causing child scripts or <ant> invocations to run a different compiler. This could be implemented in Javac.getExecutable, but perhaps that's a bad idea. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
