How did you obtain ant? I think the version from brew default to a newer version of Java. Check the output of ant -diagnostics, particularly the value of java.version and java.home. If these don't look like a Java 8 installation, run echo $JAVA_HOME and if that is blank or points to another Java version, run export JAVA_HOME=... where ... is the path to your Java 8 installation.

Thanks for the reply,
Yes, I removed the ant installed from brew and installed again with macports.
changed JAVA_HOME to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-1.8.jdk/Contents/Home
And now its working fine .
