That sounds very reasonable, as long as the full path isn't required to still 
run it (we then may need the ant equivalent of 'which javac', which would be 
more cross-system friendly than using a property to set the full path). i 
have to use fork for our builds to avoid OutOfMemoryExceptions, but javac is 
in a different place on each build machine, and i'd sure hate to have to futz 
with that in a properties file on each machine.
