The specific error is here:
>>> 1.9.4 is known to be broken (tag support is broken),
>>> http://tomcat.markmail.org/thread/4zzooanqjk2fhbz2
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56641
I suspect that we can use zip downloads instead of tar.gz ones.
Apache Commons Logging sources,
Apache Commons Daemon binaries,
Cobertura binaries
all have zip distributives as well the tar.gz ones that we are using.
Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko

It is worth putting a version-check into build.xml that fails-fast with
an explanation? Otherwise, we might get flooded with questions about why
[whatever].tar.gz is broken and ant can't open it.
