If you already have the sources then use build/build.xml to build Tomcat. You do not need the build/resources/build.xml file. (Do not forget to create build/build.properties file and set "base.path" property there to an appropriate value). Until about a year ago (until tc4.1.x was retired), Tomcat 5.5 sources were scattered among several subprojects. When the sources were stored in CVS, the build/resources/build.xml file was used as a wrapper around cvs to download those sources from proper places. See e.g. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc5.5.x/tags/TOMCAT_5_5_0/build/resources/build.xml When the source were migrated to Subversion it became possible to use the svn:externals feature to replace several cvs calls with a single svn call, and now the svn layout is further simplified.
