Hi
I'm going back in time and have to compile and old java project with JDK 1.3.
Currently I'm using Ant 1.7 and JDK 1.5 for all my projects. So when I wrote a
build.xml for the jdk 1.3 code and in the compile target, using javac ant task,
and set the 'source' or 'target' attributes to 1.3, I got errors that were not
very clear to me, something like switch back to... Does this mean I am using
the wrong version of Ant and have to switch to 1.6 or earlier versions?
C:\Temp\old_project>ant compile
Buildfile: build.xml
clean:
[delete] Deleting directory C:\Temp\old_project\build
init:
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\Temp\old_project\build\WEB-INF\classes\lib
jar_files:
[echo] Copy jar files ...
compile:
[echo] Building java classes ...
[javac] Compiling 220 source files to
C:\Temp\old_project\build\WEB-INF\classes
[javac] Modern compiler not found - looking for classic compiler
BUILD FAILED
C:\Temp\old_project\build.xml:66: Cannot use classic compiler , as it is not
available.
A common solution is to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to your jdk
directory.
It is currently set to "C:\Progra~1\java\jdk1.3.1_20\jre"
Total time: 0 seconds
Thanks for your help.
