Ant editor warning about missing AnnotationProcessorFactory class [message #506515]

I'm building an app using JAXB and other frameworks. The Ant build works fine from both Eclipse and the command line.

The one minor annoyance I have is that Eclipse is giving me a warning on the taskdef for "schemagen":

<taskdef name="schemagen" classpathref="schemagen.classpath" classname="com.sun.tools.jxc.SchemaGenTask">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="lib" includes="*.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>

The warning is:

"A class needed by class com.sun.tools.jxc.SchemaGenTask cannot be found: com/sun/mirror/
apt/AnnotationProcessorFactory"

This class is found in the "tools.jar" of the JDK. I noticed that in the list of jars associated with the JRE, that jar is not included. So, I tried including it in both the project build path and the classpath for the Ant run configuration. Neither of those made any difference. It's still displaying that warning.

That class is also redistributed as part of the org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core
plugin, so you may be able to get it that way, if that helps.

Thanks, but I don't see how that can help. I already put the tools.jar with the class in the project classpath. I can't imagine that putting a different jar with that same class in the classpath would make any difference.
