The only snag is that 'ant download' doesn't download optional 
components. And some of them are optional the same way that brakes on a 
go-cart are optional. It'll work, just not quite the way you expect it to.

More importantly, any developer building Tomcat needs to build a full 
version, otherwise you run the risk of breaking parts of the build that 
you happen not to be building because you don't have the optional 
component that it depends on. And the build process is fairly quiet 
about those missing pieces.

Automating the download of optional components, however, is a bit 
tricky, as many of the optional components are behind Sun's license page.
