I agree that building webtest from scratch should work without modification.
That's why the cvs module contains every single dependencies and its own
servlet container ;-)

The blessed way to build webtest now is to check out the complete cvs module [1],
set up the class path to contain the junit and clover jar files that are in
lib/build [2] and to call ant [3]. Of course, the user must provide his/her own
ant installation...


[1] Take care to check out the module in such a way that the files are read/write,
    otherwise the build may fail generating the dtd.
[2] A simple way is to copy the two jar files to $ANT_HOME/lib, of course.
[3] Impatient users may call ant develop and skip the generation of the
    documentation and various zip and war files for the build server.



How would a better way looks like?
