Hello Martijn, I was in the process of running some tests to decide if we are in a state to do a release of Ant project. While doing so, I ran into an issue where our project build no longer honours the source, target and release attributes of the javac task for versions of javac that support it. For example when building with Java 11 our "compile" target in build.xml although has the correct attribute values, those values never get passed to the underlying javac call. As a result, the compiled classes use an incorrect major/minor version and can no longer boot in Java 8, when compiled from Java 11. Debugging this, I found that this issue is a consequence of the changes in [1][2][3]. [2] and [3] are just follow-up commits to [1], so the main issue seems to be related to the change in [1]. I tried to review it, but don't have much context around that change. Was it related to some enhancement/bug-fix? Let me know if you need a simple reproducer to help reproduce this problem locally.
I haven't yet had a chance to see if this impacts other attributes of the javac task and not just source/target/release attributes.
