OK, "base.path" is required.
The "execute.validate=true" enables checkstyle. It is needed when
voting for a release candidate, but it is not really necessary if
someone just rebuilds Tomcat. I wonder what is the point of doubling
the "execute.validate=true" line.

I'd do a simple "cd ${BASE_SOURCE_DIR} && ant" instead of the above
two ant commands.
The "deploy" is the default target and "build.xml" (in the current
directory) is the default build file name.
The deploy" target depends on "download-compile" and
"download-test-compile" ones and will download the files.

A trick to building Tomcat 7 is that you need a Java 6 JDK ( + second
Java 7 JDK if you want to build Websocket libsrarier as well).
If you use a later version than Java 6, DBCP would fail to compile
because of changes in Java JDBC APIs that are implemented by that
library.
Java 6 JDK should be used to run Ant. This is usually done by setting
JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to its home directory.
Additional Java 7 JDK is declared by setting java.7.home= property in
build.properties file in Tomcat sources.
E.g. my build.properties file on a Windows 7 machine is essentially
the following lines:
base.path=../../libraries/tomcat7
java.7.home=C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.7.0_67
"ant deploy" or just "ant" build a ready-to-use version of Tomcat in
output directory.
"ant release" build a release (with all release artifacts) in output/release
Build instructions are in BUILDING.txt file.
