With Ant 1.5.1 and building tomcat5, the last step of precompiling
fails. If I upgrade xml-apis.jar and xercesImpl.jar to xerces_2_3_0 in
the $ANT_HOME/lib directory all is OK.
With Ant 1.5.2, this error doesn't occur. Since they have the newer version.
Attached is (sad) attempt to patch this in BUILDING.txt. I also took out
the download xalan step since I successfully built tomcat 5 on a with
jdk14, ant1.5.2, while (accidentally) skipping the download xalan step.
Is xalan still needed in the $ANT_HOME/lib directory?
I also added a blurb about the ant download task.
