I found an effective workaround on the Debian bug tracker http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446438
You need to merge ant.jar and ant-laucher.jar in a single ant.jar file and replace the symlink /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.6.5/lib/ant.jar with it. Here are the steps: cd /tmp mkdir ant cd ant cp /usr/share/ant/lib/ant.jar /usr/share/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar . jar xf ant-laucher.jar jar uf ant.jar org cd /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.6.5/lib/ sudo cp ant.jar ant.jar.original sudo mv /tmp/ant/ant.jar . restart eclipse and now parsing should occur without problems.
