For JDK 1.1/1.2, classic is the default. For JDK 1.3, modern is the default. +
For JDK 1.1/1.2, classic is the default. For JDK 1.3/1.4, modern is the default. If you wish to use a different compiler interface than one of the four supplied, write a class that implements the CompilerAdapter interface (package org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.compilers). Supply the full classname in the "build.compiler" property.
+The fork attribute overrides the build.compiler setting and expects +a JDK1.1 or higher to be set in java.home. +
This task will drop all entries that point to non-existant files/directories from the CLASSPATH it passes to the compiler.
