Sorry Beat,
I did not answer your question.

Ant does not have a Java compiler.
Java has a Java compiler.

It looks to me as if Java is running the "modern" compiler that is built in=
to your version of Java.
If Java has to load some java classes to do the compile, it know where to g=
et them, so has no need to use the command line.
When forking, it needs to start up a new Java invocation anyway so it uses =
the command line to run javac.

Hope this helps,
Rob
