Change JDK for running <ANT> task from within build xml
ant, build-automation, java, mxmlc
Solution
In each xml file, you can specify the executable to use inside the javac task. You must include the fork=yes in addition to the executable= parameter.
<javac fork="yes" executable="C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_17/bin/javac">
Problem
I have build.xml which calls swfbuild.xml. I want parent build.xml to use IBM JDK 1.5 and swfbuild.xml to use Sun JDK 1.6 Is there any option in `<ant>` task to specify different JDK to use? I tried setting JAVACMD like below but that doesn't work either How can I use different JDK for swfbuild.xml? ``` <target name="Compile_SWF"> <exec executable="cmd"> <env key="JAVACMD" value="C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_18" /> </exec> <echo message="Start to Compile SWF content" /> <ant antfile="swfbuild.xml" target="swf-masterbuild" /> <exec executable="cmd"> <env key="JAVACMD" value="C:/IBM/SDP/runtimes/base_v61/java" /> </exec> </target> ```
