The above error messages say that build.xml tried to download
javac-4.0.zip, but that it's moved.

The simplest fix is to edit build/components/javacc.xml, and on line 39
(ish) change the url to the last one given in the error message above,

http://java.net/downloads/javacc/oldversions/javacc-4.0.zip

If this doesn't work for some reason, try obtaining javacc-4.0.zip from
somewhere, and putting it in ~/.buildit_components_cache
