Ant target 1.6 package not found

I am trying to down-compile a project for compatibility with Java 1.6 using Ant and I am receiving the error package javax.net.ssl does not exist.

<path id="master-classpath">
    <fileset dir="${lib}">
        <include name="*.jar"/>
    </fileset>
</path>

<javac source="1.6" target="1.6" 
 bootclasspath="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/rt.jar" 
 srcdir="${src}" destdir="${dest}" classpathref="master-classpath"/>

I can compile to Java 1.7 without any issue.

Do I need to declare a classpath to JDK1.6 in order to resolve the Java libraries?

The java extensions (jsse.jar) must be appended to the bootclasspath. This wasn't obvious from the cross compilation example.

The corrected javac task is:

<javac source="1.6" target="1.6" 
       bootclasspath="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/rt.jar;/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/jsse.jar" 
       srcdir="${src}" destdir="${dest}" classpathref="master-classpath"/>
