This is a bug in the batch compiler. Ant adapter sets the compliance level to
1.4 when running on a 1.4 VM. The batch compiler sets the target according to
the compliance level.
It should not be done that way. Setting the compliance level should not have any
side-effect on the target platform.

Set title.

Now we don't set the source level neither the target platform, when we set the
compliance level.
-1.4 => generate by default target 1.2 when running on a 1.4 VM and target 1.1
when running on VM < 1.4.
-source 1.4 => target = 1.4 and compliance 1.4
-source 1.3 => generate by default target 1.2 when running on a 1.4 VM and
target 1.1 when running on VM < 1.4 and compliance 1.3

I released this change in 2.1 stream.
