Building Tomcat on Windows XP

[Andrew Tomazos <an...@tomazos.com>]

I am trying to build tomcat on Windows XP (Build
2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 Service Pack 2).

I downloaded and installed the latest J2SE 1.5 from java.sun.com.

I downloaded and installed the latest Ant 1.6.3.

I downloaded and unpacked jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-src.

I cd into that directory and run ant.

Attached is the full transcript, but the interesting bits as far as I can
see are:

Any ideas?
