I am trying to build the source of Eclipse IDE using ant. The build is getting failed
with

lipse SDK Source Build".

Building Eclipse with ant has always been tedious and error prone.
If indeed you need a headless build to create your deployable version of Eclipse have a look at these
- http://wiki.eclipse.org/CBI
- http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Platform_Build
- http://blog.vogella.com/2012/10/08/building-eclipse-sdk-locally-with-maven/

Otherwise, if you just want to experiment with hacking a few individual bundles, you might be much quicker by simple importing these projects into your workspace, letting Eclipse do the compilation and for testing run fire up a "runtime workbench" (launch configuration of type "Eclipse Application").
