cause and remedy
The reason is that jar lib repository address is not valid in ant config file:
lib/libraries.properties
comment out invalid address and update valid one:
#m2.url=m2.repo=http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
m2.url=http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2
#m2.repo=http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
m2.repo=http://maven.ala.org.au/repository
fetch.xml
change jai-core, jai-codec repository from:
repository="https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/"
to:
repository="http://maven.ala.org.au/repository"
conclusion
after above workaround, most of ant lib download and installed but tomcat/jasper-compiler/4.1.36/jasper-compiler-4.1.36.pom still not found, checked all repository, in fact it is not included in ant 1.8.4 build, guess this is the reason.
