I think you need to take a step back here.

If you are using Eclipse then there really is no need to use Ant to 
compile your project, Eclipse will do that for you. Enable Window -> 
Show View -> Markers to see compile time errors, fix the errors then build.

Where Ant is useful (to me) is for building archive files.
I use Eclipse to develop web applications mainly, once things compile I 
run the Ant script in Eclipse to build and deploy a war file to the server.

It is perfectly possible to build and deploy an application using Ant 
even though your code has arbitrary errors, Ant will not complain if you 
are not using it to compile your code.

Are you actually using Ant to *compile* your code or just assemble the 
archive?
