Hi Ted,

But what do we do if it's not available--i.e., how do we tell ant

      if( -e xjavac) use xjavac to compile stuff
      else use javac

(to use a vaguely sh-ish pseudocode).  I've no doubt if can be done; just
not sure how to model conditional execution in ant (let alone conditional
task definition).

Anyway, perhaps I should repost the tools distros.  I also think Xalan
found a solution to massaging the bootclasspath that didn't use a custom
task; perhaps we should move in that direction in the long run.

Cheers,
Neil

Hi Neil,

This bit me during the Hackathon as well.  I seem to recall that Ant has a
way of detecting whether a taskdef is present.  I think it would be worth
it
to see if the xjavac task can be invoked only when its available.

Ted
