Hi Filip,
Thank you for your guidance.
I resolved my build issues. According to the BUILDING.txt, you need a
1.5.x "or later" JDK, and I was using a 1.6.x JDK. Although the build
properties are set to compile using 1.5, the build still seems to
break on 1.6. Perhaps we should investigate building on 1.6.x more,
and/or update the BUILDING.txt to clarify this.
most likely on the DBCP, as they implement the java.sql.Connection
interface directly, and hence are tied to a java version
The build also could not find the JDT zip file mentioned in the build
properties :
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/eclipse-JDT-3.2.2.zip
<http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/eclipse-JDT-3.2.2.zip>
yes, we are updating this shortly
Perhaps their site is just down at the time I am building, or it needs
to be updated.
I switched it to use the ibiblio mirror site, which in my opinion is
probably more stable :
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/eclipse-JDT-3.2.2.zip
I have attached a patch to make this switch.
its in the process of being applied

Most of my Maven 2 experiences have been favorable over Ant, and I
will attempt a Maven Evangelism email thread soon.
Thank You,
Paul

Hi Paul, welcome!
It's good news and we always welcome new ideas and new contributions.
Let me address your building issue first, building is quite easy.
Requirements: ant, java 1.5
1. check out SVN directory
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk
2. download deps
cd trunk
ant download
3. build
ant
The question about maven has been around, last time it was brought up
the community wasn't too keen on it, the ant is so simple and easy to
maintain. I've seen other projects always spend vast amount of times
just trying to get their maven stuff to work, we've never really had
that problem with ant. It's simply too simple to screw up :)
What I would do, is start an email thread where you poll the interest
for such contribution before you spend the time on it.
In terms of contribution, everyone pretty much works on the area of
their own interest.
A good place to start is the bug database, and submit patches to the
bugzilla database.
for example
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=Tomcat+6&content=
<http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=Tomcat+6&content=>
have fun digging around, just let us know if you need more help
