Checking out Tomcat Source Code for TC 5.5.16

I am not sure if the only way to get the source code for the various modules needed to build Tomcat, on a branch is the following:

build module:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/build/tags/tc5.5.x/TOMCAT_5_5_16/ build

container module:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/container/tags/tc5.5.x/TOMCAT_5_5_16/   
  container

connectors module:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/connectors/tags/tc5.5.x/TOMCAT_5_5_16/   
  connectors

jasper module:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/jasper/tags/tc5.5.x/TOMCAT_5_5_16/   
  jasper

servletapi module:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/servletapi/servlet2.4-jsp2.0-tc5.x   
  servletapi

I then have a build.properties file in the build directory, with the base path modified as:
base.path=C:/cygwin/home/asaldhana/tomcat55

Step 1:
Go to the build directory and do "ant download". This will download the components that are dependencies.
