Also (I’m not sure if anybody said this) if it doesn’t work try moving your eclipse folder to a different directory (folder) that doesn’t have symbols in it like *#&$!^. It worked for me.

I have a solution for another case, which doesn’t seem to have been written here.
My cause was that I used package name starting with “java.” for my classes, so Ant was searching for them in a standart library. I changed the package root to “my.” and it solved the problem.

Hey, thanks a ton. All of a sudden I started getting this problem when I change eclipse version and had plugins pointing to older version. For an hour did not understand why I’m getting this problem. Browsed impatiently and got a solution.

Thanks very much, a simple fix always get out of notice. But working perfectly for many for past 4 years.

Kudos!
