In case anyones interested I did finally get the build working. The issue with the build.xml remains. If I want to follow the build instructions on the web site I have to make the change I mentioned below. The MalformedURLException was a result of a recently installed program adding a XML parsing package to my system classpath. Once I got rid of it the build completed.
I also tried to follow the Eclipse setup instruction which on the whole worked pretty well except that the .classpath files for connectors and container referenced commons-modeler-1.1 but Tomcat now uses 2.0. The .classpath for Jasper references org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.1 but Tomcat now uses 3.1.2. I probably shouldn't declare complete success yet as I haven't actually run what was built. -----Original Message----- From: Filip Hanik - Dev Lists [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 1:18 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Building from source 1. dont use folders with spaces, in theory they should work, in practice, who knows 2. building is easier than that, follow these steps a) svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/current/tc5.5.x b) cd tc5.5.x c) edit build.properties.default (the base.path parameter is where it will download dependencies too) d) ant download e) ant (or ant release, but this requires additional stuff) Filip Gross, Keith wrote: > I was trying to follow the direction from the web site for building > Tomcat > 5.5 from source.
