hi everyone!
we currently face the following problem: we compile a project using the ANT javac task and when we set the JDK for the project to 1.5 compiling fails with the error "Error starting modern compiler". When we set it to 1.6 it works. I think we understood that this has something to do with the fact that the "surrounding" JVM is 1.6 but still we don't totally understand what to do in order to fix it.
But maybe to ask a second question: is selecting the JDK for the project of relevance when we use the ANT javac task? When calling that one we set the source and target parameters like that:
<javac source="1.5" target="1.5">
So maybe we're trying to fix something that's not a problem :-)
Thanks and kind regards,
Andreas Schilling
