I tried it and the same happened. The reason was that on my system (LINUX)
the TOMCAT_HOME environment variable wasn't set and thus the classpath for
the build script wasn't constructed properly and thus the jar file
containing org.apache.tools.ant wasn't found. Look at the code of the build
script ( build.bat or build.sh ) to see the details.
There may be a better solution, but setting TOMCAT_HOME at the beginning of
the build script will solve the problem.
