I just copied your build.xml and your java code. build.xml in base directory and the java in the src directory. Ran ant & voila...no error.

Maybe you should check what ant version is really running?

Here's mine:
C:\_Work\java>ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.6.2 compiled on July 16 2004
C:\_Work\java>java -version
java version "1.4.1_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_05-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_05-b01, mixed mode)

Here's my successfuly run of your code/build:
C:\_Work\java>ant
Buildfile: build.xml

init:
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\_Work\java\build

compile:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\_Work\java\build

use:
Here is project 'AntProject'.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
