I've just had to do this myself.
The first thing is that if you just want SSL support then, with Tomcat 3.2.3
at least, you don't seem to need to rebuild it. Just put the JSSE JAR
files in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib and configure the SSL HttpConnector in server.xml
(there is an example there commented out).
If you *do* need to rebuild it (for other reasons) the you'll find an
explanation in the README file supplied with jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2.tar.gz.
Basically, you need to download Ant, the "servletapi" package, Xerces, JAXP
and JSSE and put them in a directory structure like:
<rootdir>
jakarta-tomcat
jakarta-servletapi
jakarta-ant
jaxp-1.0.1
You also need to put xerces.jar and the JSSE JARs in your CLASSPATH before
doing the build.
