The build.xml file that comes with Tomcat is for building Tomcat. Unless
you plan to enhance or modify Tomcat there is no need for you to touch this
file.
I do suggest you look into using Ant to build your web application. Ant is
another open source project from the great people at the Apache Software
Foundation. For additional information on Ant see
http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.html.
