yes i know that the the classic compiler is java1.2. But in order to use
different compilers based on what Nica said, i need to know whether the
compiler I am using is external or one of the javac-compilers ??
Thanks a lot

All of the targets in your build.xml will use the same compiler.
You can use different compilers if you do *not* define the property
"build.compiler" in your build.xml and call your compile-targets using
antcall specifying <param name="build.compiler" value="yourCompiler"/> on
each call. But this will only work with external compilers.
If you use one of the javac-compilers Ant will currently always use the
compiler that was shipped with the JDK you use to run Ant.
