I found 2 solutions that work for me :

1 - The solution from kukudas above :

How about this: under preferences ant -> editor in the tab Problems "Ignore all buildfile problems" ? You can set there a specific file too if i'm not mistaken. – kukudas Oct 15 '10 at 10:28

While it works, this solution is workspace specific and can be quite tedious if a user wants to keep Ant validation for a few files but ignore a large number of files.

2 - Eclipse seems to validate ant files only when they are opened in an editor. Therefore, another solution involves never opening ant files that shouldn't be validated using eclipse. I managed to get rid of warnings by doing a file backup-delete-restore.

Ideally, ant validation should be done like all other XML validation so it may be configured at project level.
