Late (but better late than never) acknowledge of my problem solution: To solve the problem you have to add a new task defintion: <taskdef name="install" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.InstallTask"/>
and replace the deploy task within the "install" target with the new above defined install task. That's it. Afterwards "ant install" will be successful But attention, this build.xml has more bugs/typos !
