Indeed, this is probably because it needs a GNU compatible version of tar.
See http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTasks/tar.html for details.
As a matter of fact, it won't work with default Solaris tar command.
So Shane recommandation is valid:
You can either upgrade your tar command or download the zip distrib.
Hope it helps,
