Reading the Ant documentation?
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/javac.html

The <javac> task element has a "bootclasspath" attribute and the documentation 
also explains how to use the "-X" option.
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/javac.html#bootstrap

Or presumably because you haven't read the documentation and specified the 
option correctly.  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you read the 
manual.
