Description Petr Jiricka 2010-02-05 08:59:22 UTC 
The Parboiled project:
http://wiki.github.com/sirthias/parboiled/

is not detected automatically by the Autoproject, which is not surprising, considering it uses the following in the Ant script:

    <taskdef name="javacn" classname="org.parboiled.ant.Javacn">
        ....
    </taskdef>

    <target name="compile" description="Compile main and example sources">
        <mkdir dir="build/classes"/>
        <javacn debug="on" destdir="build/classes" source="1.5" target="1.5" encoding="utf8">
            <src location="src"/>
            <src location="examples"/>
            <classpath refid="compile.classpath"/>
            <compilerarg line="-Xlint:all -Xlint:-serial"/>
        </javacn>
    </target>

I.e. it does not use the javac task, rather it has its own wrapper around javac.
Still, it would be nice if this was somehow supported (not sure how).
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2010-02-05 11:07:44 UTC 
Could probably relax the sniffing a bit to assume that any task whose name contains "javac" as a substring - <xjavac>, <javacn>, etc. - is really a javac variant and the basic attributes have the same meaning. (In this case, <javacn> is just a variant of the IDEA compiler to handle org.jetbrains.annotations.*.)
Comment 2 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:38:53 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
