Steve Loughran commented on XMLBEANS-201:
-----------------------------------------

I should add that 

1. javasource isnt supported in the HEAD release either, which you can you can 
verify in Gump:
http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/ggf-cddlm/cddlm/gump_work/build_ggf-cddlm_cddlm.html

2. Ant has a special test suite, ant-testharness, designed for running ant 
targets as junit tests. This is how ant tests its own tasks, but other projects 
are encouraged to use it too. Please get on the ant developers mail list if you 
need help using it.

> Backwards compatbility: Ant task javasource attribute not passed down to 
> compiler in 2.0.0; source attribute missing from SVN_HEAD

>
> Hello, 
> I am trying to use XMLbeans on a project that normally uses 2.0,0, but on 
> gump it gets built against HEAD instead.
> Unfortunately, I cannot configure my build.xml to work consistently across 
> the two, because the source attribut is missing from the HEAD release. If I 
> leave it out, I cannot compile the generated java1.5 source against the 2.0.0 
> release. Now maybe in the HEAD release the javasource attr is all you need, 
> but that is not sufficient for 2.0.0. 
> Please bring the source attribute back to HEAD, even if all it does is print 
> a warning "no longer used", otherwise you have broken backwards compatilbity 
> in your build process for end users.
