because the build script only copies the files that are appropriate for your
installation. for example, JDK 1.1 vs JDK 1.2 issues. Also, if you are not
going to be using certain packages and such. it also does some string
replacements in the files (such as version numbers).

what you should modify is the stuff in src/java/ and then the build script
will move the stuff over to bin/src for you based on the mod times of the
files.
