I don't think that this is an Ant question, as ant doesn't have any control
over the error reporting style of the compiler. I'm assuming that you're
using a javac compiler and not a jikes compiler. A suggestion would be to
try the jikes compiler with (and also try without) the -emacs option.
It is unfortunate that not all compilers follow the same error reporting
formats.
