Thanks again for the advice. As it turns out there is a second motivation for building everything from source, and that is so if something goes wrong, we can find the problem and fix it. If we go through all the hoops now, then we won't have this additional problem when we are hurrying to fix and issue.
In light of this, I was wondering if there was a way to not include the eclipse stuff. Is there an option to use just the Sun JDK compiler? I doesn't look like that is an option in the build.xml file. However, even if it has to be included to make the build happy, is there a runtime configuration for this?

It's not unique to your company, but in the minority AFAIK: in my experience, almost every company I know that uses Tomcat uses the binary builds. People tend to use the source builds only for customizations, redistributions, etc. > So I have all my ducks in a row, I have been looking into the src and > binary distros a bit further, I noticed the tomcat-native library is > included as source in the binary distro as a tar.gz file.

The native connector is not a necessary component, it's optional. RTFM it at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html.
