I know, but I want to choose kind of warning messages to show (for
example, deprecated is very important but unused variable isn't).
JDTCompilerAdapter was done to use features of Eclipse's compiler inside
Ant. But, JDTCompilerAdapter doesn't use Eclipse's preferences.

And, if I try to launch the ant compilation from dos, there aren't all
these warnings.

Now, I am completly under 1.3. I configure Windows and Eclipse to use JVM
1.3.

The JRE_LIB in Eclipse has the good JDK 1.3  rt.jar.

If I add 

<echo message="build compiler : ${build_compiler}"/>

in build.xml and I run ant from Eclipse, I have : 
[echo] 1.4.1
!!

Ant seem to be on a different version of JVM.

If Eclipse propose only 1.3 in JRE installed, so Eclipse works on 1.3.
Isn't it ?

I try in <javac> tag attributes :
- target
- includeJavaRuntime/includeAntRuntime
- fork
- executable
- source
- compiler

but nothing change.


I found a bad solution. In Ant, I change the <javac> tag with adding :
 bootclasspath="D:\jdk131\jre\lib\rt.jar"

It's work.
But I really don't understand and I can change all our build with a
absolute path.


In a perfect world :
- OS uses one or more version of VM
- In Eclipse, I choose in preference->JRE installed : JRE 1.3
- When I run ant from Eclipse, ant is launched with JDK 1.3, javac 1.3 and
rt.jar from JDK 1.3.

But, perfect world don't exist ;(
and ant seems to uses PATH system variable to found first javac command
(very bad !).
