I do not think you need to download any jars, if you are building ANT
for yourself - you have to have all necessary jars already to run ANT.
I have an automated script to build ANT. First, the script empties
CLASSPATH, sets JAVA_HOME and PATH. Then copies all necessary jars into
$ANT_DIR/lib/optional folder, deletes $ANT_DIR/bootstrap, and runs
"call build.bat distribution".
There can be additional steps to make ANT to forget about any previously
installed ANT on your system.
