I've corrected my problem.
To refresh, I had ant 1.3 installed on a solaris 2.6 box with a jdk of
1.2.2_07 and it all worked fine. Many moons later, without any changes
to Ant, it stopped working. What I figured out was that there were
three jars added to the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory. They were
jnet.jar, jcert.jar and jaxp.jar After doing that, Ant started
failing. It'd throw this nasty error

I then had our admin add the parser.jar into the jre/lib/ext directory
and it worked. Appearantly, jaxp.jar and parser.jar want to be in the
same directory. yee-haw.
