You are confusing RedirectMatch with RewriteRule.  Only the latter needs the
[R].

In fact, this configuration looks terribly invalid.  It should be
RedirectMatch /build/tomcat/(.*)
http://jakarta.apache.org/build.jakarta-tomcat/$1
Or even better
Redirect /build/tomcat/ http://jakarta.apache.org/build.jakarta-tomcat/

We should be returning an error if the target argument to
Redirect/RedirectMatch isn't an absolute URL.
