I think the problem is not in JVMs incompatibility but in the fact that 
Eclipse uses its own Java compiler which is not the same as the one run 
by Ant (or outside Eclipse in general). I am not sure what the 
incompatibility between .class files is, but we experience it as well. I 
would suggest switching Eclipse to use external compiler, in order to 
eliminate the difference. I don't think massaging compiler options will 
help here. Or maybe even better - simply refrain from using the mixed 
output (this is what we do). Either compile everything with Eclipse or 
with Ant would be my advice.
