Hi Mr. Addison, You're right it is very tedious and I had no idea before I got started that it would be. I had found instructions online for installing the JDK, which then lead me to instructions for building my tomcat first. So I had thought it was all part of what I had to do. Boy, am I glad to know now that it isn't. I've decided to scratch ant and go a different route. Another gentleman on this list is kindly teaching me the ropes and walking me through getting my CAS server up and going.
Thank you for responding back to my email with assistance. Constance -----Original Message----- From: Marvin S.

Why are you building Tomcat from source? In my experience it's fairly tedious to build (at least from svn source due to copious use of svn externals) and in my experience the binary builds are entirely sufficient. Just trying to save you the headache of satisfying the Ant dependency and other headaches related to building Tomcat. You don't need Ant at all to build CAS using Maven WAR Overlay process.
