Hi Brian,

Yes, my assumption is right. I can reproduce the error mentioned by you after
switching the javac command to the Eclipse Java Compiler on my Fedora 9
platform by means of the commands:
==========================
# alternatives --config javac

There are 2 programs which provide 'javac'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1           /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/javac
   2           /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj/bin/javac

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2

# javac -version
Eclipse Java Compiler 0.793_R33x, 3.3.2, Copyright IBM Corp 2000, 2008. All
rights reserved.
==========================

And vice versa, I see the Ant message "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" after switching back
to the reference implementation of the Java Compiler.

It seems the Fedora platform uses the Eclipse Java Compiler by default.
I guess, platform should use a reference implementation by default if it is
accessible on that platform and all other implementations should be considered
as alternatives of it, isn't it?
