Unable to build jasper-compiler.jar for Tomcat 5.5

[M Coffee <mr...@yahoo.com>]

Could someone point me to directions on how to build jasper-compiler.jar?

This is the first time I've tried to build Tomcat, and while the build for Tomcat appeared to go
well (there are many jars, but there were errors in getting eclipse files from
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/eclipse/downloads/ so that part of the build failed),
there was no build for the jasper-compiler.jar.  I would like to build j-c.jar to add extra
debugging information to DefaultErrorHandler.java.

I got the source distribution for Tomcat 5.5.12, because that is the version we are running. 
There is source for jasper-compiler.jar, but no jasper-compiler.jar.  When I try to run the ant
build in the Jasper2 directory, following the BUILDING.txt instructions in that directory, it
doesn't work with the following errors:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using ant 1.7.0 and jdk 1.5.

Most of those jars exist, but I expected one of the build scripts to set them.  Do they need to be
explicitly set in the jasper build.properties file?

Hope someone can help,

M Coffee
