You must have used axxo-overlay at some point, which had java-ant.eclass . Since moving into the tree, though, it was renamed to java-ant-2.eclass. So essentially, you will need to 'touch /usr/portage/eclasses/java-ant.eclass', remerge / unmerge eclipse-ecj, then remove the recently touched java-ant.eclass.
yes, i've really used axxo-overlay. it had some really annying bugs. thx for the info and it works now.
