In src_compile, you can use:

java-pkg_force-compiler <compiler goes here>

Although, I think this would only affect ant builds. To affect make based stuff, it depends on how it is determining javac to use.
 * It might be using a JAVAC variable. Setting JAVAC="<compiler executable goes here>" should solve it.
 * It might just be calling javac, and just using whatever is found on the path. I'm not sure if we have a reasonable way of addressing this particular case.
