This page describes the proper way to use compilerarg elements: https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/javac.html

You can either do multiple nested elements like this:

<compilerarg value= "-Xlint:deprecation" />
<compilerarg value= "-Xlint:unchecked" />

Or use the line attribute instead of value:

<compilerarg line= "-Xlint:deprecation -Xlint:unchecked" />
