That should work fine. I've been doing that since Ant version 1.3. Do you have
a specific case that doesn't work? (You can always specify absolute paths in
the properties, if you like...)

You can either set-it in the build.xml file via a property tag
<property name="build.compiler" value="jikes"/>
or during the startup of ant using the -D flag. (set the ANT_OPTS var to
"-Dbuild.compiler=jikes" in your environment before running ant)
