I'm using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers (Kepler Service Release 1) and this morning it started throwing the following exception:

… and then replacing my .classpath with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
<classpathentry kind="src" path=".apt_src">
<attributes>
<attribute name="optional" value="true"/>
</attributes>
</classpathentry>
<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>
Obviously this is causing problems...
Any idea why this is happening?
Check that there isn't a space in the XML declaration line:
[no space here]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
