You can just modify the build.xml so that ant will include them - ie.
<path id="compile.classpath">
<!-- Include all JAR files that will be included in /WEB-INF/lib -->
<!-- *** CUSTOMIZE HERE AS REQUIRED BY YOUR APPLICATION *** -->
<!-- Include all elements that Tomcat exposes to applications -->
<pathelement location="${catalina.home}/common/classes"/>
<fileset dir="${catalina.home}/common/endorsed">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${catalina.home}/common/lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<pathelement location="${catalina.home}/shared/classes"/>
<fileset dir="${catalina.home}/shared/lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="/usr/local/yourTourqueDirHere">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
