Yes, yes, yes. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/webapps/docs/building.xml?view=log You may also want to take a look at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/BUILDING.txt?view=log Everything required to build Tomcat from source is in svn. You can also do it from a source bundle if you wish.
