May I suggest that BUILDING.txt is updated with these details? Seems to me that the file BUILDING.txt is only likely to be available to a developer if they have already checked out the source, or have unpacked a source archive. In both cases, it's not necessary to download the current trunk again. AFAICS, using http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/build.xml is only necessary if the user does not already have BUILDING.txt I can provide a patch. > > Mark > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
