Created attachment 77358 [details]
The ant file to reproduce the error

Build ID: I20070625-1500

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Starting eclipse
2. Opening Ant editor on build.xml (attached) --> works!
3. (Un)commenting some lines in section "<macrodef name="properties">" of the file until
4. Syntax highlighting of comments and non comments is intermingled (which is an error in itself)
5. Closing the Ant editor
6. Try and reopen the Ant editor. This fails saying: "Error opening the editor." And looking at the "Details" shows the following exception:

7. After restarting eclipse the editor can be opened again and you can replay this bug scenario from step one...
