Thanks for posting this.

There are issues with this build that aren't flagged up because ant
doesn't halt when the problems occur.  For example:

      [javac][loading /cuddles/aph/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-2.0/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.debug/jdimodel.jar(org/eclipse/jdt/debug/eval/IClassFileEvaluationEngine.class)]

There are many more of these but including them all would make the
mail too big.

Also these

     [javac]                                                                                                                        ^

     [javac]			return super.getImage(((IType)element).getPackageFragment());
     [javac]                               ^
     [javac]/cuddles/aph/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-2.0/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.junit/src/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/junit/launcher/TestSelectionDialog.java:41: getImage(java.lang.String) in org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog cannot be applied to (org.eclipse.jdt.core.IPackageFragment)

     [javac]			return super.getText(((IType)element).getPackageFragment());

My build command was

   build -os linux -ws gtk -bc /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/lib/rt.jar

on a Red Hat 7.2 Athlon system.
