The 1.9.x releases require Java5 at runtime and 1.10.x requires Java8 at runtime. Both lines are based off of Ant 1.9.7 and the 1.9.x releases are mostly bug fix releases while additional new features are developed for 1.10.x. We recommend using 1.10.x unless you are required to use versions of Java prior to Java8 during the build process.</blockquote> So, use 1.9.x and everything will be fine :) Clear: The bundled ANT is version 1.10

I really appreciate your help and guidance. Thanks again for providing the plugin(s). I did tried clean Eclipse install without any plugins and just copied/replaced ANT plugins provided here. Still I am getting the same error when running ANT build.xml with JDK 6. I also tried different oxygen.1 packages like EE, normal Java package but with no luck. What I observed is that when I set <code> Preferences >> Java >> Compiler >> JDK Compliance level </code> to 1.6, then I am getting the error but if I set to 1.8, with same Jars provided by you, works fine. So, with your JARs, able to run ANT with JDK 1.8 set, but not when set JDK 1.6 on my system. Also would like to inform you that my system as been formatted just last week and have installed JDK 6 and JDK 8 64 bit. Hi rjahn,
