Well, instead of a boolean property, it would probably be better to just 
have "mdr.build.dir" and "jmi.build.dir" properties that point to the 
location to send the built items, with the defaults being "src" and 
"jmi" respectively. Then the javac calls would look something like this:

    <javac srcdir="src" destdir="${mdr.build.dir}">
    <javac srcdir="jmi" destdir="${jmi.build.dir}">

And the JAR task calls would change as well.
