problems building the tomcat Source

I have been trying to build the Source for Tomcat but an error creeps up.

  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
sun/tools/javac/Main
	at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac.doClassicCompile(Javac.java:218)
	at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac.execute(Target.java:120)


I have downloaded and installed
>> jdk1.3
>>tomcat source 3.1.1
>>jakarta-ant
>>jakarta-tools
all in the same directory.
running on Win98 system


Anybody has any Idea what the problem could be. Any help would will be
appreciated

Thanks

do you have tools.jar on your classpath?

c:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar
