When attempting to use ant integration (in drop 20020321), with the 
build.compiler set to org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.JDTCompilerAdapter, my ant 
script fails with:
Build file: D:\src\olt\est\build.xml
Compiling source files
directory does not exist: -extdirs
------------------------
Eclipse Java Compiler 0.235a

<...usage message snipped...>

The relevant portions of the build script are:
<property name="build.compiler" 
value="org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.JDTCompilerAdapter" />

<..large irrelevant detail snipped...>

<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${classes}" debug="true" deprecation="true" 
extdirs="${extdirs}"/>

This breaks the extdirs mechanism of the ant javac target. Without using the 
internal JDTCompiler, I get the "cannot use classic compiler" message. This 
would work with jikes theoretically, but there is an internal bug in jikes 
preventing me from confirming this (it crashes building my code).
