I don't see how this is related to Eclipse.
Even so, I can provide some answer: do you know about the Java 
Preferences app (it should be in your Utilities folder)? That is where 
you set the system preference for which JDK is used by default. I 
suppose you could also try specifying it in the Ant javac task, although 
I don't remember exactly how to do that off the top of my head; I'm sure 
the Ant documentation has instructions.
