Hi Gopal,
I have tried two variations on that theme:
javac -extdirs d:\xml-xalan\java\build\xalan.jar
src\org\apache\xalan\templates\FuncKey.java
where xalan.jar is a prebuilt modern Xalan binary; and
javac -extdirs d:\xml-xalan\java\src
src\org\apache\xalan\templates\FuncKey.java
Both gave me 56 compilation errors under Sun JDK 1.4.1. :(
As a slight aside, I recall hearing about a "bug" in Sun JDK 1.4.0 that
permitted -extdirs to override what was in rt.jar. I haven't tried with
the version of 1.4.0 (1.4.01 to be exact) that I have, nor can I recall
exactly where I got that impression from.
Anyway, since the behaviour appears to fail on 1.4.1 this wouldn't seem to
bde a general solution.
Cheers,
Neil

Have you tried javac -extdirs <dir> <files> ? In this case, javax.xml.*
classes are loaded from rt.jar and rest from <dir>\xalan.jar.
