Now please try with "-Dbuild.compiler=classic" - it works.
The relevant part from the sources seems to be
if ( (bootclasspath == null) || (bootclasspath.size() == 0) ) {
// no bootclasspath, therefore, get one from the java runtime
includeJavaRuntime = true;
} else {
// there is a bootclasspath stated. By default, the
// includeJavaRuntime is false. If the user has stated a
// bootclasspath and said to include the java runtime, it's on
// their head!
}
and if you change your example to
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="test" default="compile" basedir=".">
<target name="compile">
<delete file="Test.class"/>
<javac
srcdir="${basedir}"
destdir="${basedir}"
includeantruntime="no"
includejavaruntime="no"
bootclasspath="D:\nowhere"
includes="Test.java">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="D:/jdk117/lib\classes.zip"/>
</classpath>
</javac>
</target>
</project>
you get
D:\temp>ant -Dbuild.compiler="jikes" -verbose
