Setting the JDK version in the build.xml

[kopite1]

Hi,

How do I set the JDK version in the build.xml. I have tried using:

<property name=&quot;${ant.java.version}&quot; value=&quot;1.1&quot; />

..but that does not seem to be picked up at compile time, it just continues with the default JAVA_HOME set in my path.

A work-around solution would be a cmd file with following content (you probably have to remove the environment variable JAVA_HOME) :

set JAVA_HOME=D:\jdk1.3.1_01
set ANT_HOME=D:\Java\soft\jakarta-ant-1.4.1
set path=%path%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
cd C:\java\projects\... ==> your source-directory
ant -buildfile C:\Java\ant-scripts\build.xml 
pause
