Re: ant build of Tomcat v8.0.9 failing @ " Failed to download [.../ecj-4.4RC4/ecj-4.4RC4.jar]. All download sources are unavailable."

[grantksupport]

in build.properties.default I see hardcoded paths

        ...
        # ----- Eclipse JDT, version 4.4RC4 or later -----#
        jdt.version=4.4RC4
        jdt.release=S-4.4RC4-201406061215
        jdt.home=${base.path}/ecj-${jdt.version}
        jdt.jar=${jdt.home}/ecj-${jdt.version}.jar
        # The download will be moved to the archive area eventually. We are 
taking care of that in advance.
        
jdt.loc.1=http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/${jdt.release}/ecj-${jdt.version}.jar
        
jdt.loc.2=http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/${jdt.release}/ecj-${jdt.version}.jar
        ...

checking @ http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.html, 4.4.RC4 is 
outdated -- and MISSING.  hence, the broken check.

the current drop is for "4.4" *RELEASE*,

        http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.4-201406061215/

adding to my local 

        src/tomcat8/build.properties
                ...
                jdt.version=4.4
                jdt.release=R-4.4-201406061215
                ...

then re-exc'ing the ant build works

        BUILD SUCCESSFUL
        Total time: 25 seconds
