The additional components are built using the extras target of the standard Tomcat Ant script which is present in the source bundle of Tomcat.
The build process is the following:
- Follow the build instructions to build a Tomcat binary from the source bundle (note: it will be used by the build process of the additional components, but does not need to be actually used later on)
- Execute the command ant extras to run the build script
- The additional components JARs will be placed in the output/extras folder
- Refer to the documentation below about the usage of these JARs
