Tomcat7 incomplete by default?

I installed tomcat7-standalone and downloaded tomcat7-source and found a wired problem:

The class org.apache.jasper.JspC(tomcat7-source) imports org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader that i cant find in plain installation of tomcat7-standalone.

IMO this code must throw a CNFE! Right?

    if (jspcLoader instanceof AntClassLoader) {
        classPath += File.pathSeparator
            + ((AntClassLoader) jspcLoader).getClasspath();
    }

Could that be that tomcat-developers hopes that noone uses their code? Is this ok?

Yes, it should, but the JspC class is not a part of the Tomcat runtime - it is the command-line tool used to precompile the JSPs, and it can be used as an Ant task or even as part of Gradle build.
